Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother."

Xu Lei readily agreed. "Since you’ve made the request, of course I’ll comply.

Xin’er, this is your uncle’s Jade Pendant.

Take it. If you have any trouble in the future,

you can bring this Jade Pendant to find me."

Zhao Xin looked toward Hui Ming.

Hui Ming simply smiled and nodded, signaling for her to accept it.

After Zhao Xin took the Jade Pendant,

Hui Ming handed a journal containing his cultivation insights from over the years to Xu Lei.

He said it was a token of his gratitude and that Xu Lei could use it for reference.

Xu Lei, of course, gladly accepted.

As they spoke, Hui Ming continued to chat idly with Xu Lei, mentioning that he had actually had more than one child back when he lived in the secular world.

The children’s mother was only a mortal and had long since passed away from old age.

Originally, Hui Ming hadn’t expected to have any children with talent for cultivation.

But to his surprise, a few years ago he discovered that his youngest daughter, Zhao Xin, possessed extraordinary talent.

So he set her on the path of Cultivation.

After much consideration, however, he still arranged for her to cultivate with the Daoist Sect.

Xu Lei could understand his reasoning.

After all, Hui Ming, unlike Xu Lei, couldn’t reincarnate into his own descendants.

Therefore, he focused more on his own Cultivation and wasn’t obsessed with his descendants having to walk the path of a Cultivator.

But if a child truly had talent, he would naturally make arrangements for them.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. After chatting for a while longer, Hui Ming bid his farewell and departed.

Zhao Xin naturally left with him.

After all, Hui Ming wasn’t simply handing her over to Xu Lei.

He had only asked Xu Lei to look out for her from time to time.

"Uncle Hui Chi!"

Before leaving, Zhao Xin slipped away from Hui Ming and whispered to Xu Lei, "Don’t you worry."

"Even though my father said all that,

I probably won’t be bothering you often.

My master and my martial aunt are very powerful.

They can usually take care of me just fine."

"Oh?"

Xu Lei smiled in surprise, then couldn’t help but ask, "Is that so? Your master and martial aunt are powerful? How powerful?"

"Mhm~~!"

Zhao Xin said, "This might sound a bit presumptuous, but they’re probably a little stronger than you!"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei laughed heartily. "Well, that’s great! It seems my senior brother found you an excellent master!

Looks like this uncle can take it easy!

Of course, if you ever need your uncle’s help with anything,

you can still come and find me.

If I can help, I definitely will."

Xu Lei, of course, wasn’t offended by this.

Although his Cultivation had reached the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm,

it was only the First Realm of the Middle Three Realms.

He knew that there were many Cultivators stronger than him.

"Thank you, Uncle Hui Chi!"

Seeing that Xu Lei wasn’t angry, Zhao Xin’s expression relaxed. She gave a sweet smile and waved her delicate little hand. "Well, that’s all for now! You can stop here, no need to see me off. Goodbye!"

Then she was off, trotting quickly to catch up with Hui Ming as he descended the mountain.

Xu Lei watched the father and daughter’s departing figures for a moment before turning to go back into the temple.

After all, Hui Ming and Chun Yuan’s day of Crossing the Tribulation was in three days.

And that "three days" didn’t include today.

After entering the Cultivation Room,

Xu Lei resumed his Cultivation.

He wanted to break through to the Third Tier of the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm.

But after a whole night of arduous cultivation, he was still unsuccessful!

However, he hadn’t expected that Zhao Xin, who had just said she probably wouldn’t be bothering him, would come looking for him at the temple the very next morning.

When Xu Lei was notified, he naturally came out to meet her at once.

"Xin’er."

Xu Lei smiled. "What brings you here?"

"Uncle Hui Chi!"

Zhao Xin’s pretty face flushed slightly as she said, a little embarrassed, "I’ve come today because I have something to trouble you with!

You see, I accidentally discovered what I suspect is a Demon Spirit!

But based on the intensity of the Demonic Qi I sensed at the time,

with my current Cultivation, I don’t think I’m a match for it yet.

But my master and martial aunt aren’t at the Daoist Temple.

And as for my father, he’s preparing for his Tribulation, so I can’t disturb him.

So, I came to find you!

I was wondering if you would be willing to go and capture the Demon with me?"

"What? You actually found traces of a Spirit Monster?"

Xu Lei was startled, his heart burning with excitement. ’My Cultivation is stuck right now—I need a catalyst!’

He immediately said, "What’s there to even talk about!

Your father entrusted you to me!

And I gave my word!

My word is my bond!

How could I possibly go back on it?

Where is it? Let’s go, right now!"

"You’re free? That’s wonderful!"

Zhao Xin gave a sweet smile. "To be honest, it’s a little embarrassing.

I just said I probably wouldn’t come bother you,

and here I am!"

「Several hours later.」

Xu Lei had already descended the mountain with Zhao Xin.

Along the way, Xu Lei learned more.

After coming down the mountain yesterday, Zhao Xin hadn’t left with Hui Ming.

Hui Ming had returned to his own temple to prepare for his upcoming Nirvana.

After all, this was a critical event, and he needed to get into the best possible condition.

Zhao Xin, on the other hand, had naturally returned to her own Daoist Temple.

Unexpectedly, on her way, she happened to sense a nearby Spirit Monster using its Demonic Qi.

She had investigated covertly and successfully pinpointed its approximate location.

The next day, she came to find Xu Lei.

This was because aside from her master, her martial aunt, and her father, Hui Ming, she didn’t have any other Cultivators she particularly trusted.

So, she thought of Xu Lei.

After all, if they succeeded in capturing the Demon, they would both benefit.

It was a win-win situation.

It could also be considered a small gift.

She figured Xu Lei probably wouldn’t refuse.

In addition, Xu Lei also learned that Zhao Xin was indeed fourteen years old.

She had only recently reached a Realm comparable to the Lotus Embryo Realm.

In other words, she had just begun to slow her aging process.

Before this, she had grown at the rate of a normal young woman.

She had essentially completed her initial physical development right as her aging process began to slow.

When Xu Lei learned this, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
