In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path

Although he had looked forward to the arrival of the Immortal at the Ascension Grand Meet, he also knew that being an Immortal did not necessarily signify goodness, nor did it indicate the absence of desires.

They could even just be a group of cultivators who were slightly stronger than those with innate power.

For such a group of strong individuals to select the weaker ones to enter the Cultivation World, what could their purpose be? Could it be as good as it seemed?

In other words, even if it was as fantastic as it seemed, he would always be on guard against others, hence he had prepared numerous trump cards for self-protection.

At this moment, he answered truthfully and respectfully, openly revealing his past acquisition of the Stay Young Pill including the Immortal's Gu Skill.

He even detailed the location of the Immortal's remains he had come across, withholding nothing.

Such honesty satisfied the five cultivators who were reading his mind.

They could tell that Chen Dengming was not lying, even though they hadn't asked about the Gu Skill, Chen Dengming had confessed it proactively.

The female cultivator surnamed Luo spoke in a soft, calm manner, "It's a pity that there's only one Stay Young Pill, otherwise, Junior Sister Liu and I would have made a deal with you, a mortal, to exchange for that Stay Young Pill. Such a pity..."

When these words were spoken, the envy in the eyes of the others turned into schadenfreude and relaxation.

Chen Dengming bowed, yet before he could speak, another elder cultivator with an immortal-like demeanor chuckled, "Friend Luo and Friend Liu are interested in the Stay Young Pill, but this old skin of mine has no interest in the Stay Young Pill.

Instead, I am quite interested in this Gu Cultivation Skill that the mortal has obtained. Let me ask you, the Gu Skill you performed earlier seemed colorless, odorless, formless, and substance-less. Is there any trick to it?"

The other four cultivators turned their attention to Chen Dengming upon hearing this.

Chen Dengming bowed respectfully and said, "It's the highest-ranked Gu Skill. It is recorded in the Gu Skills that I obtained: 'When using Gu, one does not necessarily need food. Gu can be transmitted to people through breath or sight, those who use food are the lowest tier practitioners of Gu'."

"Great, great..."

The elderly cultivator smiled heartily at Chen Dengming, "Would you be willing to exchange your Gu Cultivation Skill with an old man like me?"

Chen Dengming candidly replied, "I would be happy to, I would even give it to the Immortal Master."

"Oh-ho!"

The elderly cultivator waved his hand and said in a nonchalant manner, "I only do trade, I do not accept gifts from mortals, I do not want to bear such karma."

Chen Dengming fell silent.

At this moment, he felt the profound gap between mortals and immortals from the words "mortal", "mortal" that these immortals kept using. Their sense of superiority and pride was remarkably strong.

Even the Grandmaster with innate power, when facing cultivators, did not even qualify to give a gift.

Suppressing his emotions, he continued with respect, "If so, I will be bold enough to make a trade with the Immortal Master.

However, at present, I do not know where to go and what to do after the Ascension Grand Meet, I'm also unsure of what I should trade the Gu Skill for …"

The five immortals seemed enlightened, however, their expressions mixed with some sighs, pity, and sarcasm, the elderly cultivator said in a meaningful manner, "Ah, we forgot about the main matter of the Ascension Grand Meet."

After speaking, he exchanged glances with the other four cultivators, their gaze became aloof, detached, and overlooked the three aspiring older creatures below.

"The three of you have little time left, even with spiritual roots, it's hard to cultivate, so go ahead."

At these words, the three old beings were stunned, their eyes vacant, they felt as if all their hopes had been shattered.

Immediately, someone knelt down and cried out in despair, begging the Immortal Master for a chance.

"Stop your clamor!"

The elderly cultivator frowned and hummed coldly, he suddenly flicked the Buddhist Dust, and a whirlwind swept the three old beings off the stage.

After completing this trifling matter, the elderly cultivator's gaze moved towards Shaoyu Feng, he spoke in an indifferent tone, "You're also old, go away."

Shaoyu Feng was stunned, his lips trembling, he suddenly looked up at the elder, only to feel a frost-blade-like gaze enchanting from his overhanging firmament eyes, piercing right into his heart, making his whole body go cold.

He laughed bitterly and jumped off the platform, feeling the hilariousness of his past efforts, calculations, and arduous pursuit.

What did it mean to be the fourth in innate power, what did all the planned strategies mean? In the end, everything was in vain, what was the point of having a spiritual root?

After struggling all their lives to reach the pinnacle and pursue the opportunity to become an immortal, when reaching the end, they were denied by the immortals because of their old age, instantly crushing all their efforts, and ending up with one result - failure!

Not only Shaoyu Feng's heart grew cold, even Chen Dengming's heart grew cold as well.

He was more than a decade older than Shaoyu Feng.

Even though he had the golden finger of a transmigrator, he still had a long life span, and there was room for improvement in the future.

But these five cultivators did not know this, if they decided to drive him away, it seemed that aside from leaving, there was nothing he could do.

The Blood Centipede Gu was indeed his ultimate trump card, capable of threatening the lives of cultivators, but it required the element of surprise.

But there were five of them, and this kind of problem could not be solved by resorting to force.

It was then that Chen Dengming truly realized the cruelty of cultivation, the indifference of immortals, indeed, the reality was as cold as ice, unlike the beautiful tales told in the novels of his previous life.

These immortals, who were conversing with him just a while ago, merely had a topic of discussion in common, but they did not put him on an equal footing with themselves.

Now, they started by driving others away but not him. It was just to let him witness the 'reality', keep him till the end to finish a trade, and then drive him away.
