The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 324 - 323: Life and Death Note

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Life and Death Note

The two master and disciple pondered for a long while but couldn’t figure out if Little Fatty was a Semi-Immortal Artifact or an Immortal Artifact.

Little Fatty himself couldn’t clarify either.

In the end, Xie Jiuniang asked Little Fatty to open the door to the treasure vault and let Chaoyan go in to bump into fortune.

Chaoyan went in unceremoniously.

"Go in, go on in." Little Fatty gestured for Xie Jiuniang to enter as well.

With a resigned shake of her head, Xie Jiuniang said with a bright yet slightly melancholic tone, "If I went in, what business would there be left for my master?"

Little Fatty was utterly puzzled.

He didn’t understand.

Xie Jiuniang added, "You’re still young, you don’t understand. If my master and I stood together, who would chance favor, him or me? Anyone not blind would choose me."

Little Fatty blinked in confusion, "Plenty, not afraid."

"Are you saying, there are many things, and master need not worry?" Xie Jiuniang saw Little Fatty nod and then said, "It’s not the same, not the same."

All in all,

it was she who did not lack for opportunities and did not need them.

When she had attained the Spiritual Marrow in the Tianshui Secret Realm, Xie Jiuniang had had an epiphany.

A person’s luck is not inexhaustible.

It’s very possible that with every opportunity gained, one’s luck would diminish a bit until there was nothing left.

She now had enough resources and didn’t need to be greedy. Xie Jiuniang no longer intended to pursue the chances she once coveted and had yet to claim.

Because she no longer needed them, she would leave them for someone else who was fated to have them.

She believed that as long as she didn’t claim them,

the Heavenly Dao would compensate her with something else, no worse than the original, maybe even better.

Hadn’t it always been like this?

Xie Jiuniang, who was waiting outside, started chatting with Little Fatty, one with concise expressions and the other with a perfunctory demeanor.

One person, one child, they chatted until dawn.

When Chaoyan emerged gracelessly from inside, covered in dust and with spider webs in his hair,

Xie Jiuniang eyed the cobwebs in Chaoyan’s hair with a strange look, "Little Fatty, is your treasure vault not only dusty but also has spider webs?"

"Ah, vault huge, very huge."

Little Fatty spread his small arms wide, making a grand gesture, utterly adorable.

Upon hearing his disciple’s words, Chaoyan couldn’t help but grin and bear it, "Inside, there’s a vast plain with ancient buildings, not like the treasure vault we have built, it’s a sealed space."

"A huge plain?"

Xie Jiuniang was shocked, wasn’t it supposed to be a treasure vault?

Immediately, she turned to Little Fatty, "Aren’t you a small treasure vault?"

"Mansion, mansion, it was originally a mansion." Little Fatty tilted his little head, his gestures suggesting something larger, "Then it broke."

Chaoyan was completely baffled.

However, Xie Jiuniang miraculously managed to understand and exclaimed, "Wow, you were originally an Immortal Residence, and then it broke down and ended up like this?"

Chaoyan felt old.

He couldn’t grasp the young one’s line of thought anymore, yet Little Fatty nodded his small head affirmatively.

In essence, Little Fatty was once the Artifact Spirit of an Immortal Residence, currently a bit down on his luck but doing alright, at least better than a Sword Spirit, with no missing limbs to speak of.

Chaoyan figured it out.

His little disciple hadn’t formed a contract with this Artifact Spirit.

Yet this Artifact Spirit was heeding his disciple’s words.

This fate, this chance, was truly unparalleled.

After Xie Jiuniang and Little Fatty finished their gesturing and chatting, she finally remembered there was a master beside her.

"Master, did you get any opportunities?" Xie Jiuniang gazed at him with eager eyes.

Speaking of this, Chaoyan laughed, "I did, this one."

In Chaoyan’s hand, there was conspicuously a round bead, which his large hand could just hold, "Do you know what this is? It’s a Legacy Bead."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiuniang’s eyes widened.

Wow!

What a surprise!

An inheritance right off the bat?!

Back then, Xie Shen received the legacy of a great spiritual cultivator in the form of a Small Golden Buddha statue. Some serious cultivators liked to seal their ultimate techniques in a Soul Bead.

It was called an inheritance bead by outsiders.

However, this was a method commonly used by early cultivators, and now, it is very rarely used. Thus, one could imagine how precious this inheritance bead was.

Chaoyan took the inheritance bead and hurriedly left.

Xie Shen and the Little Fatty were left staring at each other. In the end, she resisted the temptation to go in and instead turned a blind eye, tossing the Little Fatty back into the Small Tortoise Shell.

The sky was bright outside.

After a night without rest, Xie Shen sat in meditation for a quarter of an hour on a meditation mat. Once her cultivation technique had cycled through her body for a full revolution, she immediately felt rejuvenated and spirited.

"Xiaojiu!"

Someone called from outside the cave dwelling.

No matter how loud the shouting, it wouldn’t reach the inside of the cave dwelling unless someone touched the formation. Only then did Xie Shen know someone had come, as her Divine Sense swept outside.

Oh, it was Song Ersha.

Xie Shen had no intention of inviting Song Ersha into her cave dwelling.

So, she went out!

"Why are you up and about so early? Aren’t you going to cultivate?" This was the time when the sun just rose, the time for the Sect’s morning lessons, a perfect opportunity for cultivation.

Song Baobao grinned, "We’re out playing, no need for that."

"Alright then, what do you want to play?"

"Let’s go find Xuanyuan You first."

"Oh."

Xie Shen called over a Little Immortal Crane.

Song Baobao was puzzled, "Riding the Little Immortal Crane is too slow, wouldn’t it be better to use a flying device?"

"The Little Immortal Crane has more charm, I love Little Immortal Cranes," Xie Shen began talking nonsense.

As a result, Song Baobao followed and sat behind Xie Shen.

The Little Immortal Crane of Zhengyang Peak was much larger than ordinary Immortal Cranes, easily accommodating the two young ladies.

Therefore, inside the Tianxu Sect’s Inner Sect, there was a sight to see today.

The infamous Little Profiteer, with a beautiful female cultivator, riding an Immortal Crane around the Sect grounds in the early morning.

Xie Shen initially thought it would be another ordinary day, but reality told her she had thought too much.

They had only been flying for a short half hour.

They encountered someone blocking their path, a male cultivator in the late stages of Golden Core, with a cold expression as if his parents had died, carrying a Heavy Sword on his back. "Yuanxi, I happen to come across you today. How about a battle on the dueling platform in three days’ time?"

Then, a Sect challenge letter.

It flew towards Xie Shen’s face.

She had to catch it whether she wanted to or not.

If she didn’t, the letter would have hit her in the face.

Besides, Xie Shen wasn’t alone; Song Baobao was sitting right behind her.

So, Xie Shen raised her hand and caught it.

Before Xie Shen could open her mouth to speak, the male cultivator spoke first, "Since Yuanxi has accepted the challenge letter, I will await your presence at Battle Peak in three days."

Leaving this behind, he teleported away in an instant.

Without giving Xie Shen a chance to speak.

Perhaps it was to deny her the chance to refuse!

Song Baobao looked shocked, her mouth agape, "Xiaojiu, who was that man? Such nerve he has, issuing a challenge to you, a mid-stage Golden Core, despite being in the late stage."

"You’re right, he is quite shameless," Xie Shen replied.

She opened the challenge letter.

It boldly stated, "Lin Ba of Fafeng challenges Yuanxi of the Main Peak, to a duel where death is disregarded."

The time was three days later in the morning.

This wasn’t just any challenge—it was a life-or-death challenge!
