It was already dusk.
The setting sun cast its last rays on Li Qinghai, outlining his tall and lonely figure.
Li Qinghai walked alone on the road home, carrying several treasures in his arms, his heart filled with bitterness.
His idea of going to the Monster Beast Mountain Range was simply to die.
What a pure thought that was!
But why did he end up surviving?
And even more absurd, why did everyone want to give him treasures?
Couldn't they see that he didn't like treasures?
Sigh...
He really couldn't stay in the Monster Beast Mountain Range for another second.
If he stayed any longer, he might end up returning with a full load.
This kind of thing just couldn't happen!
…………
At night.
Li Qinghai finally returned to the Green Bamboo Residence.
Dragging his exhausted body, he collapsed directly onto the bed.
Li Qinghai, weary in spirit, just wanted to have a good sleep now.
Oh right.
The Book of Good Fortune had reacted earlier, and he hadn't had the chance to read it.
Li Qinghai decided to take a look.
[You faced two cultivators above the fifth level of Qi Refining and survived; it's no big deal.]
[The real reason you survived is because they respect you greatly.]
[Your reputation has earned you good fortune, gaining some fame.]
[You faced two cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refining and survived; it's still no big deal.]
[This time, you survived because your reputation made them retreat.]
[Your fame has enhanced your small fortune, earning you good fortune and a bit of renown!]
[Today, you received generous rewards from many cultivators, earning good fortune, becoming a cultivation expert!]
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
[In your next reincarnation, you will receive good fortune, becoming a Child of Fortune, avoiding misfortune, with a bit of renown, a cultivation expert.]
After reading the records of the Book of Good Fortune, Li Qinghai felt both joy and worry.
Gaining two new fortunes today was certainly a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, in the afternoon, he had thrown away the pills given by Ye Chongshan, and the Book of Good Fortune didn't retract the Child of Fortune, which was also something to be happy about.
At least it made Li Qinghai realize that he could refuse some opportunities.
However, as it stands, opportunities filled with goodwill are unavoidable.
Refusal only applies to malicious opportunities.
He just didn't know what judgment the Book of Good Fortune would give if he accepted a malicious opportunity.
What troubled Li Qinghai the most was that he didn't die.
Without dying, all he gained seemed rather pointless.
Fortunately, Li Qinghai wasn't the type to be overly sentimental. After sighing for a while, he went straight to sleep.
Before sleeping, Li Qinghai muttered through gritted teeth.
"Tomorrow, I'll continue courting death. I refuse to believe in this nonsense!"
The next morning.
Li Qinghai opened his eyes.
He glanced at the sky outside.
Today, he didn't sleep until the sun was high in the sky; the time was neither too early nor too late, quite normal.
At the same time, Li Qinghai assessed his cultivation level.
Thank heavens, there was no improvement today; he was still at the second level of Qi Refining.
Courting death remained his top priority today.
Li Qinghai had always been dedicated and diligent when it came to reincarnation.
So, without lazing in bed, Li Qinghai quickly got up.
After handling some daily chores, he headed straight towards Morning Cultivation Mountain.
In Li Qinghai's mind.
Other villains were not very competent.
Only Ye Feng had the professional qualities of a villain.
To die, he needed Ye Feng's help.
Ye Feng, oh Ye Feng, I hope you can step up and not let me down.
When I reincarnate and become a prodigy, I'll definitely repay your... one-sword favor at the Azure Cloud Sect!
Li Qinghai had quite a bit of confidence in Ye Feng.
So, Li Qinghai was in a good mood, strolling leisurely along the way.
Upon reaching Morning Cultivation Mountain, Li Qinghai glanced around.
He wanted to find Ye Feng's figure, but he didn't see him.
Perhaps he hadn't arrived yet.
Li Qinghai wasn't in a hurry, so he casually leaned against a big tree and sat down, just like before.
After waiting for a while.
He didn't see Ye Feng, but Wang Dafu showed up.
Wang Dafu plopped down next to Li Qinghai and casually asked.
"Junior Brother Li, I've noticed you keep staring at Morning Cultivation Mountain. Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah." Li Qinghai nodded.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dafu suddenly got cheeky and chuckled, "I get it, waiting for Lu Beixue, right?!"
Li Qinghai's mouth twitched, "I guess... you could say that."
He couldn't very well say he was waiting for Ye Feng...
That would be too strange.
Wang Dafu had a look of realization, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Li, Lu Beixue should be coming today."
Li Qinghai smirked, "How do you know that?"
"Well, I don't know about Lu Beixue, but I do have information on Ye Feng."
Ye Feng?
Li Qinghai's interest was piqued.
Right now, Ye Feng's status in his heart was much higher than Lu Beixue's.
So Li Qinghai immediately asked, "What about Ye Feng?"
"I heard Ye Feng went to find Ye Fan. But Ye Fan is in seclusion, so Ye Feng is temporarily cultivating there and hasn't returned. With Ye Feng not around, no one will bother Lu Beixue, so she will naturally come to cultivate. How about that, happy to hear this news?"
"…"
Happy my ass.
Li Qinghai was almost furious. He had come to Morning Cultivation Mountain eagerly waiting for Ye Feng, only to find out Ye Feng wasn't coming.
Wang Dafu was good at reading people, and he could clearly sense that Li Qinghai's mood dropped for a moment.
Wang Dafu thought for a moment, it seemed Junior Brother Li had fallen in love, and not seeing Lu Beixue made him unhappy. So, he decided to help matchmake them, and then Junior Brother Li would be grateful to him!
Even though Lu Beixue was considered a goddess in Wang Dafu's heart.
But Wang Dafu wouldn't be a simp; if he couldn't have the goddess, so be it.
Now there was a chance to do a good deed and have Li Qinghai owe him a favor, which was clearly a better deal.
Wang Dafu quickly came up with a plan.
He slowly stood up, "Junior Brother Li, I'm going to cultivate over at Morning Cultivation Mountain."
"Alright, you go ahead." Li Qinghai replied.
Wang Dafu walked for a while and reached Morning Cultivation Mountain, where the surrounding cultivators greeted him.
Now, in the outer sect area, Wang Dafu was somewhat famous.
Even with his fame, Wang Dafu didn't get arrogant and responded to everyone with a smile.
However, he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't chat much with everyone.
He took out a Spiritual Sword and soared into the air.
Wang Dafu was now at the seventh level of Qi Refining, capable of flying for a short while.
However, he was too fat, and his balance wasn't great, so he flew crookedly to the top of Morning Cultivation Mountain.
The cultivators who could reach the top of Morning Cultivation Mountain had a minimum strength of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
But cultivators above the eighth level of Qi Refining were rarely seen.
Mainly because those with such strong Qi Refining abilities usually went to the Monster Beast Mountain Range for training, often staying for several days, leaving no time for cultivation at Morning Cultivation Mountain.
So, with no eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators around, a seventh-level one could be the boss.
"Ahem..."
Wang Dafu cleared his throat with authority.
He wasn't very good at playing the role of a dignified person.
But to help matchmake for Li Qinghai, he had to put on an act.
