Misty Peak, surrounded by mist and filled with spiritual energy.
Outside the sect's secret realm in the back mountain of the Misty Sect, a beautiful woman in a white dress was giving instructions to the two people in front of her.
"Ling'er, Xu Xiao, this time when I go into seclusion, it will be at least ten years, or at most a hundred."
The woman speaking had a graceful and slender figure. Her white dress hugged her waist and abdomen, accentuating her perfect curves.
Her skin was as fair as snow, smooth and flawless, like finely sculpted jade.
Her face was gentle and breathtakingly beautiful, carrying an air of elegance that could easily captivate anyone who listened to her words.
Her waist, as slender as a water snake, was without a trace of excess fat—graceful and enchanting.
Her long, jet-black hair was pinned up with a jade hairpin, with a few strands swaying in the breeze, making her look like an immortal descended to the mortal world.
Her breath was fragrant, carrying a faint floral scent that could make one intoxicated.
Every movement of hers exuded a mature woman's unique charm, filled with grace and allure, making people unable to resist the urge to get closer.
She was Ji Xue, the Supreme Elder of the Misty Sect.
Standing in front of her was a young woman in a green dress and an elderly man in a gray robe with white hair.
Ji Xue looked at the young woman in the green dress and said, "Ling'er, you are now the Sect Master of the Misty Sect. While I am away, you must manage the sect's affairs well."
"If you encounter difficulties, seek guidance from the other Supreme Elders. I have already spoken to them."
The young woman in green had a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but she nodded and said, "Yes, Master..."
Then, Ji Xue turned to the elderly man beside her, whose face was covered in wrinkles and looked as if he was on the verge of entering his grave.
"Xu Xiao."
Xu Xiao trembled slightly, quickly stepping forward with the support of his wooden staff, and nodded slightly, "Disciple is here."
Ji Xue sighed and shook her head, "Last month, you failed to overcome the Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation, causing your cultivation to fall to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"In this life, you will likely have no more hope of cultivation, and your lifespan is less than a year."
"Here, I have a Longevity Pill. It can extend your life by fifty more years."
"In these fifty years, find a Dao companion and live a good life. If possible, leave behind descendants, so that your journey in this world is not in vain."
After speaking, she lightly moved her hand, and a small porcelain-white bottle appeared in her delicate, jade-like fingers.
"Disciple thanks Master greatly."
Xu Xiao reached out with an excited expression and took the Longevity Pill.
At this moment, he felt like crying.
This is great… Finally, I have something valuable to gift someone!
A month ago, he had failed his tribulation to ascend to the Divine Transformation stage, causing his cultivation to plummet from Nascent Soul Stage Ninth Level all the way down to Foundation Establishment First Level.
After this failure, he had lost all hope.
Having transmigrated to this cultivation world for a thousand years, his system had never appeared, forcing him to cultivate the hard way.
Even after becoming a disciple of Supreme Elder Ji Xue of the Misty Sect, his mediocre talent had ultimately limited him to the Nascent Soul stage.
But fortunately, just yesterday, the Ten Thousand Times Return System had finally activated.
As long as he gifted items to a Daughter of Destiny, he would receive a massive return reward!
Previously, he had exhausted all his resources preparing for the tribulation and had nothing valuable left to give.
But now, with this Longevity Pill, he finally had the startup capital to activate the system!
Damn system, it took you a thousand years to show up—I was about to die of old age!
Cursing inwardly, Xu Xiao once again bowed sincerely to Ji Xue.
