Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Of course, they still had time to relax.

No one could work constantly without any downtime.

These Cultivators were still human, after all.

Just people with a bit of Profound Mysterious Power and longer lifespans.

While the three of them were racking their brains over a game,

they were surprised when the white-haired Dao Companion of his granddaughter’s master walked over, looking puzzled.

His granddaughter asked with concern, "Sir, what’s wrong? Why are you so down?"

Her master’s husband scratched his head, saying he didn’t know why his Dao Companion was angry with him.

He had no idea what he’d done wrong.

He had been in the Cultivation Room all day focused on his Cultivation. He hadn’t done anything special.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei, Zhao Xin, and his granddaughter were instantly overcome with awkwardness.

They couldn’t help but exchange a glance.

The Dao Companion of the granddaughter’s master, however, looked utterly bewildered. He had no idea he had been bad-mouthed while he was cultivating earlier.

Naturally, the three of them wouldn’t tell him the truth.

After all, when a man gets old, if he can’t perform, he can’t perform.

Letting him know the reason would only be twisting the knife.

Afterward, his granddaughter privately asked Xu Lei about it, wondering how it could be.

Xu Lei could only explain it away as ’natural talent’ and told her not to pry into such matters.

He even called her out for being an impertinent granddaughter!

How could she ask her own grandfather about such things?

Naturally, Xu Lei would never tell his granddaughter about the existence of the Phoenix True Flame.

Not even his granddaughter!

Because she wasn’t Xu Lei’s only granddaughter.

After all, Xu Lei’s existence wasn’t limited to this single lifetime.

So he wouldn’t be like some normal old men who give all their best possessions to their children and grandchildren before they die.

Even if Xu Lei were to die of old age, he would save most of his best treasures for himself in his next life.

Something like the Phoenix True Flame was definitely not something he could give to others.

His granddaughter could only accept this explanation with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Of course, what his granddaughter thought about the matter wasn’t really important.

The important thing was, because of this incident, Xu Lei and the other two always felt a bit awkward whenever they saw the granddaughter’s master’s Dao Companion.

However, this awkwardness didn’t last long.

Just half a year later,

the awkwardness was gone.

Because something had happened to the Dao Companion of his granddaughter’s master.

Xu Lei didn’t witness the specific events himself.

That day, when Xu Lei came out after finishing his Cultivation,

he heard from Zhao Xin that something had happened to the Dao Companion of his granddaughter’s master.

He rushed over to see him and found the man looking far, far older than before, lying on the bed, on the verge of death.

The granddaughter’s master was by the bedside, shedding tears.

It turned out that when the pair of Dao Companions were out traveling together,

they had encountered a Demon Spirit, but then they also ran into a Loose Cultivator.

Later, in order to protect the granddaughter’s master, he fought with all his might.

Although he managed to drive the Loose Cultivator away,

his own Origin was severely damaged, his Dao Practice plummeted, and he aged rapidly on the spot.

Now, completely decrepit, he was about to die of old age!

And just three days later,

he did indeed die of old age.

"Jin Xin, Hui Chi, you two must still be more low-key."

On the day she buried her Dao Companion, the granddaughter’s master said, "If you run into any feuds,

you might end up in the same state we are in.

The seniors on the path of Cultivation told us to renounce worldly ties, avoid society, and live in seclusion!

To cultivate quietly and not get entangled in karma!

There’s truth in all of it!"

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin nodded as well.

Zhao Xin had left Xu Lei back then precisely because she was afraid of such a scene unfolding.

But the Xu Lei of today was carrying a trump card and was naturally unafraid.

But this wasn’t the time to explain that.

「In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.」

Life is unpredictable.

Although Zhao Xin and Xu Lei had been keeping a low profile,

they didn’t expect that on this day, Zhao Xin would still get entangled in some bad karma.

She had caught a Demon, but a Loose Cultivator had arrived just moments after.

Of course, Zhao Xin was the one who caught it first.

But unexpectedly, this Loose Cultivator actually threatened Zhao Xin, demanding she hand over half of the Demon Core.

"I’m about to die of old age. I’m not seeking to attain the Dao for myself anymore."

The Loose Cultivator threatened sinisterly from a safe distance, "Whoever sees the prize gets a share! This Demon Core is no exception!

Otherwise, I will haunt you relentlessly.

Don’t even think about cultivating in peace ever again!

I won’t attack you head-on.

But the constant threat of being watched, of a sneak attack from the shadows...

You wouldn’t want to endure that, I imagine!

Think it over!"

This made the granddaughter, her master, and Zhao Xin all turn pale.

None of them looked happy.

Because this Loose Cultivator’s Cultivation was not weak.

"The Demon Core has already fallen into our hands."

At this moment, of course, Xu Lei spoke up. "This has always been a matter of finders, keepers!

And now you insist we hand over half?

When we were fighting the Spirit Monster just now, I don’t recall seeing you lift a finger!

Are you saying you’re trying to rob us?

You think that just because they want to conserve their Magical Power and don’t want to get entangled with you, they’ll just compromise?"

"If you don’t give it to me, there’s nothing I can do,"

the old Loose Cultivator said coldly. "Then you just wait for my sneak attacks and assassinations! They could come at any time!"

After saying his piece, he prepared to retreat.

"You think you can just walk away after acting so arrogantly?"

But Xu Lei retorted just as coldly, "You think you can just leave after running your mouth?

You’re dreaming!

Someone like you isn’t qualified to threaten us.

Die!"

With that, Xu Lei stepped onto his Locust Leaf Flying Ship and shot after him with unparalleled speed.

The Loose Cultivator’s expression changed drastically.

He had only dared to make those harsh threats from a considerable distance.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to be so vicious and arrogant.

In reality, he knew it was highly unlikely they would spit out a prize they already had in hand.

But his threat and his hatred were both genuine.

He had indeed planned on saying his piece and leaving, forcing Zhao Xin and the others to live in constant fear.
