NOVEL WEB Chapter 6
**Chapter 6: Prioritize Gratitude, Qing’er**
A small monk in the Tribulation Transcendence stage was nothing more than an ant in Chen Ansheng’s eyes.
However, Chen Ansheng discovered that this monk appeared to be no more than twenty years old. Not only did he possess a heart of Buddha and exceptional wisdom, but he was also a dual Holy Body!
Tsk tsk!
Such talent, even in the Immortal Realm, would be considered among the very best.
Killing him would be a real shame.
It was also for this reason that Chen Ansheng developed a different plan.
That was to cultivate power, to gather unparalleled talents in the cultivation world, solidify their foundations, and once these experts ascended to the Immortal Realm, he could use them. His own status in the Immortal Realm would change as a result.
One must know that in the Immortal Realm, ascenders are highly sought after resources by various immortal mansions and spiritual caves. Moreover, ascenders often have high standards, and even the mid-tier immortal mansions find it hard to retain a top-tier ascender without spending significant resources.
This is due to their extraordinary qualifications; after all, each one is a rare gem, having undergone tribulations to gain the chance to become an immortal.
“Thank you for your grace, Immortal. This little demon will never forget it.”
This time, Qing’er no longer dared to have any stray thoughts in her heart and sincerely bowed down in gratitude.
“Immortal? Now that you’ve become my steed, you can just call me Young Master from now on,” Chen Ansheng replied indifferently.
“Yes, Young Master, I understand,” Qing’er felt a wave of excitement within her. “Um… Young Master, since you defended me against the heavenly tribulation today, you must have consumed a lot of vital energy. Shouldn’t I serve you to rest now?”
Consumed vital energy?
No, not at all.
Chen Ansheng’s gaze quickly fixed on Qing’er.
She looked to be around sixteen or seventeen, wearing a light green sheer dress that accentuated her curves, a truly exquisite sight.
He wondered whether she looked better fully clothed or without clothes. Chen Ansheng felt that both had their own charm and were equally delightful.
“Whether to rest or not is not yours to decide. From now on, you must follow my orders and not act on your own.”
Chen Ansheng’s expression was serious.
Seeing Chen Ansheng’s stern face, Qing’er felt a surge of panic in her soul and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.
Chen Ansheng did not comfort her; a servant should have the demeanor of a servant.
“Get up; I have questions to ask you.”
After a moment, Chen Ansheng beckoned Qing’er up, ready to learn about the general situation of this cultivation realm.
“Young Master, please speak.”
Chen Ansheng nodded slightly and began to inquire about the basics.
Half an hour later, Chen Ansheng had asked nearly everything he needed to.
This realm was called the Yunlong Realm, not the cultivation realm where Li Zhengyang once resided.
This place is located at the edge of Zhuzhou in the Yunlong Realm. The three sects and eighteen factions managed the expanse of Zhuzhou, which spanned thirty thousand miles, with the Yaoyue Sect at the forefront. It was said that an Earth Immortal Old Ancestor was stationed there.
Additionally, there were many smaller factions, demon cultivators, and monster cultivators.
“Young Master, it might not be easy to build a sect here.”
When Chen Ansheng inquired about how to establish a sect, Qing’er seemed rather troubled.
“How so?”
Chen Ansheng frowned slightly.
“As far as Qing’er knows, Zhuzhou has nine major Spirit Mountains, eighteen Spirit Springs, and dozens of spiritual veins, all occupied by the three sects and eighteen factions. If a sect does not have these resources, it is difficult to attract disciples,” Qing’er replied.
“No problem, we can buy a Spirit Mountain.”
“But Young Master, Spirit Mountains are the foundation of each sect; they may not be willing to sell.”
“Exactly. If they’re willing to sell, I wouldn’t feel ashamed to seize them!”
Qing’er was left speechless, looking at Chen Ansheng with admiration. Young Master truly exuded dominance; if one overlooked his tattered robe and the dirt on his face, he was quite handsome.
“This matter will be up to you to negotiate. Settle on a price first, and then I will make an appearance. Off you go.”
Chen Ansheng was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters himself. As an esteemed immortal, he’d come to the lower realm to enjoy life, not to run errands.
“Yes, Qing’er will take care of it immediately.”
With that, Qing’er summoned her demon power and prepared to soar into the sky.
“Wait a moment.”
Chen Ansheng called out to Qing’er.
“What does Young Master wish for?”
Qing’er blinked, her face filled with confusion.
“Well… I mentioned to you earlier the customs of my hometown; you should remember, right?”
“The customs of your hometown? What cu… ah, the favor of saving my life, I… I…”
Qing’er’s complexion flushed, and her heart raced wildly.
“How soon does Young Master wish for Qing’er to repay this favor?” she asked shyly, a hint of anticipation stirring within her.
“The matter of repayment cannot be delayed. I see that there is a cave in the back mountain; it is better to do it sooner rather than later.” Chen Ansheng secretly swallowed.
“Then I shall follow Young Master’s words and go with you.”
Chen Ansheng used his immortal power to draw Qing’er into his embrace, soft and fragrant, delicate and bouncy. This feeling was much more real than anything in a dream.
Inside the cave, two hours later.
“Young Master, Qing’er should go attend to matters now.”
“Matters have varying degrees of urgency; let’s complete the repayment task thoroughly first.”
“You are truly wicked, Young Master.”
The next day.
“Young Master, Qing’er should go discuss purchasing the Spirit Mountain now.”
“What’s the rush? The Spirit Mountain won’t run away; we can go another time.”
“Waaah… Young Master…”
Seven days later.
“Qing’er, go take care of the Spirit Mountain purchase.”
“Young Master, I’m feeling a bit unwell and need to rest for two days; is that alright?”
Seeing Qing’er’s pitiful expression, Chen Ansheng felt a ripple of sympathy and considered giving her another opportunity for repayment.
But unfortunately, this little demoness seemed genuinely unwell.
“Granted.”
After seven days without leaving the cave, Chen Ansheng put on a worn-out coat, preparing to go outside for some fresh air.
“And bring me back a few nice pieces of clothing.”
“Qing’er will remember.”
Outside the cave, the sky was clear and bright, and Chen Ansheng felt refreshed.
These past few days had been utterly comfortable.
It’s really hard to believe how Chen Ansheng now understood the struggles in Li Zhengyang’s heart. Who wouldn’t regret trading a carefree life for labor in the Immortal Realm?
Moreover, this little sweetness was just the beginning.
“Once I establish a solid foundation in the lower realm and cultivate a large number of ascenders, I won’t have to struggle so much when I return to the Immortal Realm.”
Life was getting sweeter and brighter with greater hopes ahead.
Sitting by the cliff, Chen Ansheng felt the wind brush against his face, watching the clouds roll by, feeling more relaxed than ever in his life.
This is how immortals should live.
“When I get rich in the future, I’ll buy a top-tier cave and bring my grandmother from the village to enjoy life; she’ll be so happy.”
Chen Ansheng was an orphan, abandoned at birth.
He was taken in by an elderly woman in Chen Family Village in the Immortal Realm, and from then on, the two depended on each other, living a life of poverty and hardship.
After growing up, Chen Ansheng worked outside. Having worked in the mines for over ten years, he had not returned home in that time. He only sent a few immortal crystals to his grandmother through others every year.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go back; it was just that the journey was long, and a single use of the teleportation formation cost no less than a thousand crystals, which he simply could not afford.
He sat there in silence.
Suddenly, Chen Ansheng felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, and unease began to stir in his heart.
“What’s going on? Is it because I’ve overexerted myself these past few days? That shouldn’t be the case.”
After all, he was in the Immortal Three Realm; after seventy or eighty rounds, his body shouldn’t collapse like this.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a violent shock jolted through Chen Ansheng’s mind. He felt something rapidly draining his immortal energy.
“Not good, why is the cross-realm stone absorbing my power?!”
Chen Ansheng immediately grew anxious.
Could it be that he was going to be devoured by this cross-realm stone!
Before he could think further, a dark doorway appeared in front of him, and a powerful force grabbed him, forcibly pulling him into the door.
“It’s over, it’s over.”
This was the last desperate thought Chen Ansheng had before he vanished.
