Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

But she didn’t seem to care.

She just glanced at Xu Lei and walked past.

Xu Lei hadn’t intended to interact much with his granddaughter either.

He just felt that meeting by chance in a sea of people was a kind of fate, so he couldn’t help but stare for a few extra moments.

Then, Xu Lei went back to eating his noodles.

That’s right. When the two had just met, Xu Lei had been eating at a roadside stall.

Even though he was financially independent, Xu Lei didn’t feel the need to feast on exotic delicacies for every meal.

Sometimes, he thought the food from the roadside stalls tasted even better.

After that, Xu Lei focused on chowing down.

But unexpectedly, just a few minutes later...

Xu Lei suddenly sensed a faint trace of Demonic Qi nearby.

He immediately put down some silver taels to pay his bill.

Then he rushed over at once.

When he arrived in the area where the Demonic Qi had appeared,

Xu Lei was surprised to see the figure of his own granddaughter.

It turned out his granddaughter had discovered a Demon Spirit and was in the middle of capturing it.

At that moment, his granddaughter was in the courtyard of a mansion, trying to subdue a weasel.

At first, Xu Lei didn’t plan to intervene; he just watched.

After all, if his granddaughter could handle it herself, there was no need for him to step in.

However, he was surprised to see that his granddaughter had already been fighting the weasel for a minute or two.

Yet she still hadn’t managed to defeat it.

Although his granddaughter wasn’t losing either.

But if this continued, her Magical Power would surely be drained more and more.

Seeing this, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately revealed himself.

"Fellow Daoist, this old man is here to help!"

Xu Lei declared.

He didn’t refer to himself as "this monk."

After all, his granddaughter was a Daoist.

’She might think that I, a Monk, am here to steal her Spirit Monster.’

’Besides, I’m wearing plain clothes right now.’

’So it’s fine to just call myself ’this old man’.’

His granddaughter was taken aback.

And before she could fully react,

Xu Lei had already tossed out an Explosive Package, sending the weasel Demon Spirit flying.

His granddaughter’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

’What kind of Daoist Technique was that?!’

’To unleash such a roar and explosion with a mere wave of his hand...’

’But she hadn’t sensed even the slightest trace of Magical Power!’

His granddaughter was so shocked she was a little dazed.

The weasel Demon Spirit wasn’t particularly strong, so it was left completely disoriented by the blast.

Of course, its Demonic Power wasn’t depleted.

If an ordinary person had tried to bomb it like that,

it would still have been able to escape.

However, while it was disoriented,

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!" Xu Lei said to his granddaughter.

His granddaughter immediately snapped out of it. With a change of her Dharma Seal, her Flying Sword whistled through the air.

It directly beheaded the weasel Demon Spirit.

Then, she retrieved its Demon Core.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist," his granddaughter couldn’t help but say.

"It was a trivial effort, not worth mentioning," Xu Lei said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

He then activated his black alms bowl, absorbing the weasel Demon Spirit’s corpse and refining some Yin Qi from it.

This could be used to supply the Human Puppets later.

"Fellow Daoist, let’s split this Demon Core, half for you and half for me!"

His granddaughter then added, "I don’t believe I’ve gotten your name, Fellow Daoist?"

"This monk is Hui Chi."

Xu Lei took off his hat, revealing his bald head, and said, "There’s no need to split the Demon Core. You take it."

Like I said, it was a trivial effort. Don’t worry about it.

Besides, little girl, your Cultivation isn’t all that impressive.

You’re the one who needs the Demon Core to help you improve.

Just take the whole thing."

His granddaughter was stunned.

She found it hard to believe. After all, according to the rules of the Cultivation Realm, if you fight together, you share the spoils.

But now, Xu Lei actually didn’t want any of it.

And listening to him, his tone sounded quite serious.

Of course Xu Lei was serious; he was, after all, facing his own granddaughter.

Other than arranging for her to enter the Daoist Sect to begin her Cultivation after discovering her talent,

Xu Lei had never fulfilled any of his other responsibilities as a grandfather.

"How could that be okay? That’s definitely not okay!"

Of course, his granddaughter immediately said, "We absolutely must split it!"

She insisted on giving half to Xu Lei.

Left with no choice, Xu Lei could only accept.

However, he only took a third.

"Senior Hui Chi, are you also traveling the world in search of Spirit Monsters?"

Perhaps it was because Xu Lei had acted so properly, but just as he was turning to leave,

his granddaughter spoke up. "Why don’t we travel together? What do you say?

This junior has a Magical Artifact that is quite good at sensing the tracks of Spirit Monsters!

And you possess extraordinary strength. If we cooperate, wouldn’t it be perfect?"

Xu Lei paused.

After thinking for a moment, he agreed.

After all, he had hardly ever spent time with his granddaughter.

Now that he had this opportunity to be with her, it wasn’t a bad idea.

Besides, Xu Lei was already looking for Spirit Monsters, and for Hui Kun.

He had to wander around anyway.

And he didn’t have any specific direction.

After that, Xu Lei and his granddaughter began to wander the world together.

Along the way, the two of them naturally talked a lot.

Xu Lei learned that his granddaughter had not yet found a Dao Companion.

She still needed to raise her Cultivation a bit more before she reached the level where she could seek one.

「In the blink of an eye, another month passed.」

Xu Lei and his granddaughter had been traveling together for a month.

They hadn’t encountered a single Demon Spirit.

They hadn’t found Hui Kun either; there was no telling where he’d run off to.

In terms of Cultivation, although Xu Lei had made better progress than before with the help of that small piece of the Demon Core, he still hadn’t broken through to the next Realm.

One day, just as Xu Lei was feeling a bit disappointed about not finding any Spirit Monsters, his granddaughter’s Magical Artifact suddenly sensed a wisp of Demonic Qi.

The two of them immediately grew excited and followed the trail.

It led them deep into a stretch of mountain forest.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t find the Demon Spirit. Instead, a barrier of light from an Array suddenly erupted from the ground, trapping them both inside.

His granddaughter was horrified.

Xu Lei’s expression changed as well.
