Chapter 461: She Doesn’t Believe It

Liu Sanlang felt very excited.

He never imagined that he would be someone with a connection to the Immortals.

For the next period of time, Liu Sanlang worked during the day at the pharmacy and practiced at night in his dormitory.

A month later, Liu Sanlang successfully broke through to the first layer of Qi Refinement.

“Hahaha…”

That night, a burst of laughter echoed throughout the city, waking many people.

This laughter naturally came from Liu Sanlang.

After breaking through to the first layer of Qi Refinement, he could no longer contain the joy inside him and laughed out loud.

At the same time, an ambition appeared in his eyes.

In that moment, he thought of his adoptive parents.

If his adoptive parents were still alive and saw him become an Immortal Master, they would surely be proud of him.

Then, he thought of the two brothers who had thrown him out of the house.

Liu Sanlang did not blame his two brothers for that because the family fortune rightfully belonged to them; he, Liu Sanlang, was just a child taken in by his adoptive parents out of kindness.

Now that he had become an Immortal Master, he believed that with his abilities, he could create a business even bigger than the one left by his adoptive parents.

Finally, Liu Sanlang remembered Miss Li, who made his heart race the moment he saw her.

Miss Li was truly beautiful, and her family background was so impressive.

“I wonder if I can match up to Miss Li now that I’m an Immortal Master.”

As Liu Sanlang’s thoughts raced, he contemplated many things.

“Liu Sanlang, what are you laughing about? Are you trying to keep everyone awake?”

While Liu Sanlang was lost in thought, his laughter naturally woke Storekeeper Tong and several doctors in the backyard.

Just then, the pharmacy storekeeper had been woken up and scolded Liu Sanlang.

Liu Sanlang didn’t take Storekeeper Tong’s scolding to heart.

He had become an Immortal Master and was too happy to care about such minor matters.

“Storekeeper Tong, I’m happy because I’ve become an Immortal Master!” Liu Sanlang replied with a chuckle.

“What? What did you say?”

“I said I’ve become an Immortal Master! I’ve mastered the Qi Induction Technique to the first layer and reached the first layer of Qi Refinement!” Liu Sanlang said with a grin.

Moments later, a figure rushed through the door of Liu Sanlang’s room.

“Liu Sanlang, is what you said true?” Storekeeper Tong asked incredulously, staring at Liu Sanlang’s handsome face in the candlelight.

“Storekeeper Tong, I have no reason to lie to you…”

Before long, the entire backyard of the pharmacy became lively.

Others were also awakened by Liu Sanlang’s excitement and soon learned of his success in practicing the magical arts.

Liu Sanlang demonstrated the magical arts in front of everyone, so that night, the room Liu Sanlang was in remained lively until dawn.

The next day, more people at the pharmacy learned about Liu Sanlang’s successful cultivation.

Many patients and their families who came for treatment also found out that Liu Sanlang had become an Immortal Master.

As the news spread, several matchmakers approached Liu Sanlang that afternoon, looking to introduce him to potential partners.

Around four in the afternoon, Fubo, the steward of the Li Mansion, arrived at the pharmacy.

“Liu Sanlang, congratulations on becoming an Immortal Master! Our master wants to invite you to the mansion for a chat. Do you have time?” Fubo asked Liu Sanlang.

“Yes, I do.” Hearing Fubo’s words, Liu Sanlang quickly nodded.

He saw no reason to refuse Fubo’s invitation.

Although he had reached the first layer of Qi Refinement and appeared as an Immortal Master to ordinary people, he knew that his success was entirely due to the Qi Induction Technique from Master Li’s book, which allowed him to become an Immortal Master.

Without Master Li’s Qi Induction Technique, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.

So, out of gratitude, he wouldn’t turn down Master Li’s invitation.

Of course, he also had a hidden expectation: to see Miss Li again.

The last time he saw Miss Li left a lasting impression on Liu Sanlang.

Soon, under Fubo’s guidance, Liu Sanlang arrived at the Li Mansion.

“Liu Sanlang bows to Master Li.” After seeing Li Xiaojun, Liu Sanlang respectfully bowed.

He had not become arrogant after becoming an Immortal Master.

“Sanlang, no need to be so formal. Please, take a seat.”

Before long, Liu Sanlang and Li Xiaojun sat across from each other.

“I heard that Sanlang has cultivated true Qi and become an Immortal Master. Is that true?” Li Xiaojun smiled and asked Liu Sanlang.

“Replying to Master Li, it’s true. I have reached the first layer of Qi Refinement.” Liu Sanlang quickly nodded.

Upon hearing Liu Sanlang’s words, Li Xiaojun also nodded.

“Congratulations, Sanlang!”

“Master Li is too kind. I must thank you for passing down your teachings. As long as you have any requests, I will do my best to repay you,” Liu Sanlang said earnestly.

Hearing Liu Sanlang’s words, Li Xiaojun waved his hand: “I passed down the technique without expecting anything in return, but…”

Pausing for a moment, Li Xiaojun continued, “I actually have a request for you, Sanlang.”

“What do you need my help with, Master Li?” Liu Sanlang quickly asked.

“Well, I have a daughter, and you should know about her, right?”

Liu Sanlang nodded: “Yes, I know.”

“My daughter does have spirit roots, but she has never been able to cultivate true Qi. So, if possible, I hope you can teach her. What do you think, Sanlang?” Li Xiaojun asked Liu Sanlang.

After hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Sanlang thought for a moment and asked, “How long has Miss Li been cultivating?”

“Well, she has been cultivating since she was six years old but still hasn’t been able to develop true Qi,” Li Xiaojun said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanlang felt a bit overwhelmed.

Here he was, a six-year-old starting to cultivate, and at twenty years old, still unable to produce true Qi.

He began to doubt if his abilities were enough to teach her successfully.

“I can only promise to do my best to share my cultivation experiences with Miss Li, but I can’t guarantee success,” Liu Sanlang said, forcing himself to respond.

“That’s fine. As long as you do your best to teach, I won’t blame you if it doesn’t work out,” Li Xiaojun said with a smile and a nod.

Then, Li Xiaojun invited Liu Sanlang to stay for a meal at the mansion and instructed him to come the next morning to teach his daughter.

…

“What? Dad has hired a cultivation tutor for me?” Li Zixuan heard from her maid that her father had arranged for someone to teach her cultivation.

At six years old, Li Zixuan was found to have low-grade five-element spirit roots, which were considered "useless," and thus were overlooked by the sects.

Later, her father went through great hardships to get her a copy of the Qi Induction Technique, hoping she could cultivate on her own.

However, no matter how hard she tried, even after her father spent a fortune hiring a Foundation Establishment cultivator to teach her for a while, she never managed to cultivate any true Qi.

This situation continued until she grew up, and in the end, she had given up for several years.

Now, she heard her father had hired a tutor for her.

Soon, Li Zixuan learned the details.

In the pharmacy, someone named Liu Sanlang had reached the first layer of Qi Refinement in just a month, which was why her father let him come teach her.

Regarding this matter, Li Zixuan showed an indifferent attitude.

After cultivating for over ten years and even hiring a Foundation Establishment cultivator without success, she found it hard to believe that a mere Liu Sanlang could teach her to cultivate true Qi successfully.
