After obtaining what he wanted from the sect master, Bai Qiuran left the Green Destiny Main Peak happily and returned to the Seven Star Peak where he lived.

However, during the time Bai Qiuran was away, there seemed to be an unexpected guest in the courtyard. When he arrived outside the courtyard, Bai Qiuran felt the uncomfortable cold aura emitted by the courtyard.

He stopped at the entrance of the courtyard for a moment before pushing open the courtyard door fearlessly and walking into his dormitory. He saw the uninvited guest standing in front of his bed.

“It’s indeed you, Xue Ling.”

Looking at the green-faced young man in a white robe in front of him, Bai Qiuran sighed.

“Why are you here?”

“Bai Qiuran.”

The young man called Xue Ling looked at him with a wooden face.

“Your end is coming.”

Bai Qiuran’s expression turned cold as the two of them looked at each other in silence.

A moment later, he scratched his white hair in frustration and replied, “Tsk, has that day already come? Alright, alright, I understand. Go back.”

However, Xue Ling did not leave. Instead, he stayed where he was and continued, “It’s been more than three thousand years. It’s about time for you to give up, right?”

“Give up what?”

Bai Qiuran insisted.

“Cultivators should be persistent and brave! Although you’re a Soul Hunter of the Ghost World, why do you always think of persuading people to give up their lives?” Bai Qiuran insisted.

That’s right, Xue Ling was one of the Impermanence Envoys in charge of capturing souls. He worked for the Yama King of the Netherworld.

As someone who brought death to the humans and maintained the order of the world, unless Xue Ling was willing to show himself, no one could see the Soul Hunter. Even the cultivators who had embarked on the immortal path would be unable to see him.

In the entire Green Destiny Sword Sect, other than Bai Qiuran, who was about to die, and Daoist Zhu Feng, who was in seclusion and preparing to undergo the heavenly tribulation, even Jue Yunzi could not sense Xue Ling’s existence.

As a Soul Hunter Envoy, Xue Ling could be considered as Bai Qiuran’s old acquaintance. Although Bai Qiuran was incomparably powerful and could even kill an immortal beast in the sky with a single slash, he was still a Qi Refinement realm cultivator.

Although Qi Refinement realm cultivators were powerful and invincible, there were always a few difficulties that could not be avoided. Among them, lifespan was one of the most important ones.

Even if a Qi Refinement realm cultivator could survive, he could at most live for 300 to 400 years. At this age, if he still could not refine his qi into essence and successfully reach the Foundation Establishment realm, his body could only wither and his soul would be captured by the Soul Capturing Envoy and he could only wait for the next opportunity.

However, Bai Qiuran was the most extraordinary among all the Qi Refinement realm cultivators. Firstly, the endless true energy in his body ensured that his body was even stronger than an ordinary immortal’s and would definitely not decay. Moreover, he had a heaven spirit root. With this kind of spirit root, not only could he cultivate a wood-type cultivation technique with twice the results with half the effort, but he could also ensure that his body completely absorbed the medicinal effect of the medicinal pill. Moreover, he could even use some medicinal pills with limited uses unlimitedly.

Cultivators could also refine an immortal medicine called the longevity pill. The refinement method of this pill was extremely simple. Every time one ate it, they could increase their lifespan by five years. However, because of the medicinal effect, the number of times they could use it was limited. Therefore, it was usually used by cultivators who were about to die as a last resort.

However, Bai Qiuran did not have this restriction. Therefore, he relied on the Longevity Pill to extend his lifespan by a thousand years.

The first time Bai Qiuran and Xue Ling met was more than 2,000 years ago. When Bai Qiuran’s lifespan was about to end for the first time, Bai Qiuran had gone out to travel and was trapped in a ruin left behind by a true immortal. He was unable to refine a longevity pill to extend his life. Therefore, as a brat who had just become a Soul Hunter, Xue Ling came to capture his soul.

At that time, Bai Qiuran also happened to feel that he was about to break through, so he held onto his dream of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. He resisted with all his might. In the end, not only did he escape the soul-capturing chain formed by the rules of the Netherworld, but he also beat Xue Ling up.

Xue Ling was also a stubborn person. He persisted in chasing Bai Qiuran for a few months and only returned to the Ghost World unwillingly after the other party consumed a new batch of longevity pills.

Just like that, the two of them became enemies. For more than 2,000 years, every time Bai Qiuran’s life was about to end, Xue Ling would come out to find trouble with him. The battle between the two of them once attracted the high attention of the Ghost World and even the Immortal World. It was not until hundreds of years ago when the Ghost World mobilized a large number of Soul Hunters and Judges to cooperate with Xue Ling and still failed to capture Bai Qiuran that the Ghost World slowly gave up on using forceful methods to capture Bai Qiuran’s soul.

The current Xue Ling had basically become Bai Qiuran’s life alarm. Every time his life was about to end, this Soul Hunter would remind him that it was time to refine the longevity pill.

“Don’t you know that your sea of energy is several times that of an ordinary person? It’s the same for your true energy. Foundation Establishment requires you to condense your true energy and transform it into essence. Do you really want to refine a true essence sea in your body with so much true energy?”

“Give up. There’s no Foundation Establishment Pill with such medicinal strength in the world. You better obediently return to the Ghost World with me. The Immortal Emperor has already said that as long as you die, he will confer on you the title of King of the Ghost World and allow you to rule over the ten halls of hell.” Xue Ling said coldly.

“No!”

Bai Qiuran decisively refused.

“I want to reach the Foundation Establishment realm!”

“Hmph, you know the old rules anyway.”

Xue Ling looked at him from the corner of his eye.

“If you don’t find a way to extend your life in time, I’ll come and capture your soul.”

“Hurry up and leave.”

Bai Qiuran waved his hand impatiently.

“Are you very free? Why are you sticking around here?”

Seeing Bai Qiuran’s expression, Xue Ling did not plan to waste his breath on the other party anymore. He turned around and walked to the side of the room. Then, his figure gradually turned ethereal and disappeared into the corner of the room.

Bai Qiuran immediately fell onto his bed and used his arms to support his head. He looked at the sky above the mosquito net in a daze.

Ever since his master, Daoist Green Destiny, ascended, he had been living such a life ever since.

As a Qi Refinement realm cultivator, he had been struggling with the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment realm every year for 3,000 years.

Every year, the end would come and he would have to rely on the Longevity Pill to continue living.

Back then, some of the people who had high hopes for him had ascended, some had failed to transcend the tribulation, and some had died in battle with others. As for those who wanted to harm him and the Green Destiny Sword Sect, they had all died under his hands.

This state of life also made him unable to enjoy the happiness that cultivators could enjoy in their long lives.

He had no Dao companion and no reputation. He had watched his senior sisters and junior sisters, whom he had a good impression of, fall in love and find their Dao companions. However, he had been alone for three thousand years and could not even ride the sword.

He took off his red robe as a direct disciple and rejected the position of sect master and grand elder of the Green Destiny Sword Sect. He came to this most remote Seven Star Peak alone and lived alone.

He had cultivated for 3,000 years and only wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

“Ah, how troublesome.”

Scratching his waist impatiently, Bai Qiuran lay on the bed and muttered, “Looks like I have to find the herbs for the Longevity Pill this time when I go down the mountain this time.”
