Three Thousand Female Students Ranked In Immortal Class

Chapter 10: Sacred Land

Ning Zhongzi sent Liu Xuanye back to Hot Springs Valley

to cleanse her body and change into a white sleeping gown. She laid her down on a bamboo bed and gave her two specially made pills, starting to set up a healing formation.

On Sword Plateau,

Lu Ya, having nothing to do, sent Muyu Feifei to cut bamboo down the mountain.

Using dozens of thick bamboo stems, he built a suspended bamboo platform on the cliff edge of Sword Plateau, and then placed the fairy boat on the platform.

A simple harbor took shape.

Lu Ya could have put the fairy boat into his spatial ring or created a space to store it at will.

However, seeing how much Muyu Feifei liked the fairy boat, he built a harbor on one side of Sword Plateau and placed the fairy boat there for them to play with.

Ship girls need to be nurtured from a young age!

Taking advantage of the harbor and fairy boat, Lu Ya made it convenient for the two girls to run errands for him in the future.

This way, he wouldn't have to do everything himself, and a blissful life of being a lazy person was within reach.

After finishing the harbor, Lu Ya sat at the bow of the fairy boat.

With his feet hanging in the air, he enjoyed the gentle evening breeze, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

When Muyu Feifei got tired of playing in the cabin, she came to the deck and climbed onto his shoulders all at once.

One on the left, one on the right.

Her four chubby little legs swung back and forth, and the soft heels rhythmically tapped against Lu Ya's chest.

Perhaps because the paws of feline animals have soft pads, Lu Ya didn't feel any pain from the tapping.

It even had a magical massaging effect.

Muyu Feifei seemed carefree, but in fact, she asked indirectly:

"Little Lu Ya, you're only in your early twenties, why are you so powerful?"

"Can you teach us?"

"Little... Lu Ya?"

Lu Ya raised an eyebrow, pretending to be dignified.

"I am currently the Elder Sword Master of Bamboo Spring Sect, so at the very least, you should address me as Senior Martial Uncle."

"Senior Martial Uncle, why are you so powerful?"

"..."

"Do you know that men shouldn't be called 'little'?"

"Understood, Senior Martial Uncle. Why are you so powerful?"

"..."

"Senior Martial Uncle, when you say you want to nurture us as sword girls, do you mean you want to teach us swordsmanship?"

"No!"

It seems that it's too difficult to train these two little troublemakers into maids after all!

So Lu Ya resorted to bribery.

"If you two behave from now on, I will teach you swordsmanship."

"Oh, then I won't learn."

"I hate learning swordsmanship the most."

Lu Ya:

"..."

That's why he hates bratty kids.

With a start, Lu Ya jumped off his shoulder, and the two girls lazily leaned against the ship's rail, pretending to be snails, blowing in the gentle evening breeze.

"Tomorrow, I will sail to Dongfu City!"

"Haha, I will live on the boat from now on."

"I don't want to live with the wet nurse!"

Just as they were speaking, there were two loud bangs—

Ning Zhongzi arrived.

She brought two sets of men's green robes, two pairs of bamboo shoes, a special elder's sword, and a green space ring for Lu Ya.

"These are the official attire of our sect. As an elder, there are no strict requirements, so you can wear them freely."

Elder?

You called me senior, I called you senior sister, and now you're calling me elder brother...

Lu Ya felt a headache coming on and couldn't be bothered to correct anything.

Call me whatever you want.

Taking the clothes and putting on the green ring, Lu Ya stuffed everything else into the ring.

The spoils they had collected could be exchanged for food and drink in the Immortal City.

"Thank you, senior sister."

Lu Ya nodded.

Seeing Lu Ya sitting by the boat, Ning Zhongzi felt a bit awkward or impolite standing, so she sent away Muyu Feifei, brushed off the dust, picked up her green robe, and sat down two feet away from Lu Ya.

She no longer had any guard against Lu Ya.

Even if she was worried that Lu Ya might have some unspeakable secret, without Lu Ya, the Bamboo Spring Sect would no longer exist, so this worry was meaningless.

It's just that the sect leader is too aloof and has never had any interaction with any man. Lu Ya also seems very passive, so she can only act as a mediator and learn some basic information.

She's almost like a matchmaker.

Facing Lu Ya, a stranger with so many mysteries, she was also a bit nervous.

The gentle evening breeze brushed against her broad-mindedness, bringing a rhythm like the surging of pine waves.

A few strands of loose hair were lifted by the mountain wind, unexpectedly revealing a touch of charm.

"Is elder brother used to life in the Bamboo Spring Sect?"

"It's not bad."

Although Lu Ya nodded, he was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

The Immortal Gate had no food, no drink, no cigarettes, no alcohol, and very few entertainment activities.

Being a salted fish is fine, but you can't have fun.

If there's no fun, just hibernate.

It seems that eating, drinking, and having fun have to be done by oneself.

Fortunately, there's Muyu Feifei. Although the two little girls are mischievous, they don't seem very smart. If they are trained well, they might be able to save some effort.

After contemplating for a while, Ning Zhongzi finally asked.

"How did elder brother meet Qingluan?"

Is this an investigation of my background?

Lu Ya didn't mind, after all, he had just arrived and everyone was still unfamiliar with each other.

"In the past few years, I have been traveling around. Today, I passed by this place and saw a beautiful Qingluan, so... cough cough, so Muyu Feifei brought me here."

Traveling around...

Wandering Immortal?

Ning Zhongzi seemed lost in thought, nodding slightly before saying,

"Senior Brother, you are so young and already possess such a high level of cultivation. In any Immortal Gate, you would be considered a key cultivation target. Now that you have come to Bamboo Spring Sect, I truly don't know how to handle it."

"Senior Sister, whatever you decide is fine. I just want to find a quiet place to cultivate... and do some farming to temper my Dao heart."

"Senior Brother, have you encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation?"

A bottleneck? Hmm...

"I suppose so," Lu Ya thought to himself. He had already reached the maximum level in his profession and couldn't progress any further. It was probably a kind of bottleneck.

Ning Zhongzi sat up straight, tugged at her collar, and cautiously behaved like a little girl, afraid of saying something wrong.

In reality, she was already 3,800 years old, but in the Immortal World, strength was respected, and seniority was not determined by age.

Whether it was her or the Sect Master, in front of this young man who overwhelmed the Half-step Immortal Sect, they were both younger sisters.

The longer one lived in the Immortal World, the more one could experience the strictness of the power gap.

If Lu Ya didn't like being called old, she would always have to address him as senior.

"The Sect Master has been burdened with restrictions since childhood and has always presented herself with a cold demeanor. I hope Senior Brother can forgive her and give her some time to adapt."

"No need to adapt, this is fine. I like her aloof appearance," Lu Ya thought to himself.

Aloofness meant not being clingy, not being overly affectionate, and having face when going out.

Such a wife was perfect for staying at home and being a salted fish, but also capable of killing and rising to the occasion. A necessary good wife!

You like aloofness?

Ning Zhongzi didn't know if it was true or not, but she assumed they were naturally a perfect match.

"I have already sent a message to the Immortal Court officials, and they will process Senior Brother's entry into the Immortal Class as soon as possible. When the Sect Master wakes up, we will hold a ceremony to recognize your union. After that, Bamboo Spring Sect will gradually move in the right direction."

Lu Ya nodded and suddenly asked,

"After that, will I be left alone?"

"Naturally, I won't disturb Senior Brother's cultivation."

Ning Zhongzi stood up and bowed.

"Senior Brother must be tired from the journey. Let me take you to rest."

"Where will I stay?"

"Senior Brother can stay in the palace next to the hot spring valley on the west side, together with the Sect Master."

Living together right away?

Lu Ya felt a little guilty.

After all, he was not someone destined by fate. He relied solely on his invincible strength to resist Liu Xuanye's husband-restraining restrictions. It was fine to play around occasionally, but if they lived together every day, it would be a thousand cuts and a thousand peels, exhausting and draining...

"The Sect Master needs more rest. I'll find another room to stay in for now."

Ning Zhongzi was slightly surprised and thought that it was only the first night, so it was understandable that they were still unfamiliar with each other.

"That's fine too."

Lu Ya surveyed the Bamboo Spring Sect mountain top.

In the middle was a lake, with insufficient sunlight and visibility.

On the west side were the hot spring valley and Liu Xuanye's palace.

On the east side were the medicinal garden and Ning Zhongzi's palace.

On the south side was the main hall.

It seemed that only the north side of Sword Plateau was empty and open, with a wide view, suitable for lying down and sunbathing.

With this in mind, Lu Ya said,

"As the Elder in charge of the sword, it is only right for me to stay on Sword Plateau. If Senior Sister doesn't mind, I can build a bamboo hut by the bamboo forest."

Ning Zhongzi hurriedly said,

"Senior brother is a guest who has just arrived, so let junior sister prepare the bamboo house for tonight."

Lu Ya did not refuse.

"No trouble, junior sister."

"Senior brother has been through a long journey and has just fought a big battle for the Bamboo Spring Sect. I'm sure you must be tired. Let me take you to the hot spring valley to rest and recuperate."

"That's fine."

...

The hot spring valley is located at the western end of the mountaintop.

Entering the pitch-black bamboo forest, passing by lakes shimmering with starlight, following a secluded path to the west until suddenly opening up to a vast sea of clouds.

The hot spring valley is enveloped in thick mist and a formation of green light.

The valley is surrounded by steep cliffs, uneven like artificial mountains.

In the middle, there is a bamboo palace built on a cliff.

The two-story bamboo palace exudes an ancient and ethereal aura, emitting a strong Sword Intent.

"This is the main palace where the sect master rests."

"In that case, I won't disturb her."

"It's alright. There are many pools of various sizes throughout the valley."

Continuing deeper into the valley, Lu Ya discovered several flat areas jutting out from the cliffs, scattered with about ten irregular hot spring pools.

The pools vary in size and depth, reflecting different colors depending on the surrounding herbs, resembling colorful amber.

Ning Zhongzi led Lu Ya to a clear hot spring pool.

On the shore, there were rugged and peculiar rocks, interspersed with slender bamboo and spiritual flowers and herbs. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the sea of green light and clouds, the dense mist connected with the sea of clouds outside the platform, as if in the heavenly palace.

"This pool is suitable for relieving fatigue. Senior brother can soak until dawn without worrying about skin problems."

"There are towels in the bamboo box next to it. Senior brother can place his clothes on the stone platform."

After giving instructions, Ning Zhongzi bowed and took her leave.

"I won't disturb senior brother's rest. If you need anything, you can call me with your divine sense."

Lu Ya nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your trouble, junior sister."

Silence.

The sea of green light.

Water and sky merge into one.

Leaving his clothes on the stone platform by the pool, Lu Ya gently entered the water, wrapped in a bamboo towel.

The water surface was filled with a light mist, carrying the fragrance of flowers and herbs. Under the radiant green light, it felt like a fairyland.

The water was only waist-deep, warm and clear, with a refreshing coolness that melted away fatigue, accompanied by a faint smell of sulfur. The stones at the bottom of the water were visible, with abundant aquatic plants. There were even colorful warm-water fish swimming around, nibbling gently on Lu Ya's skin, making him feel slightly itchy but extremely comfortable.

The sea of clouds sparkled with starlight, the green light and mist intertwined, blending perfectly with the water, creating a harmonious unity.

Lu Ya suddenly realized that this was the first time he had ever soaked in a hot spring, even in the game. In the past five years, he had either been grinding monsters in dungeons or participating in sect competitions, missing out on many opportunities to enjoy life.

Fortunately, in the real Immortal World of transmigration, as a full-level player of all professions, he had found a home after losing his life's purpose for a while. A cold and aloof immortal wife, a gentle senior sister, a tiger-like immortal loli, a bamboo forest stream, a hot spring in the sea of clouds...

This Bamboo Spring Sect is truly a sacred land for a salted fish!

Lu Ya soaked in the warm flowing water, feeling as if he was embraced by a woman, strolling in the clouds, and soon fell asleep.

At midnight, he was suddenly awakened by a dazzling white light...

The heavenly tribulation had arrived.
