Infinite nesting

On the journey to Zixia Peak, Lin Qingzhu's heart was aflutter with nervousness and anticipation. Approaching the threshold of an immortal journey, anyone would be brimming with a sense of expectancy.

Gazing at the young and handsome master gliding through the air on his sword ahead of her, Lin Qingzhu felt a warm current stir in her heart. This master was not only strikingly good - looking but also incredibly gentle. Unlike other peak masters who wore a perpetual scowl, as if the world owed them a fortune, he was different. He was deeply concerned about his disciples' psychological well - being, offering her comfort from time to time.

What was even more remarkable was his tolerance. Despite facing slander and exclusion from numerous peak masters, he remained unruffled and unfazed. Lin Qingzhu held his mindset in high esteem and secretly vowed within herself, "I must strive with all my might and not bring shame to my master!"

Moments later, a streak of purple light flashed across Zixia Peak, and the two of them gently landed before several small wooden huts. "We've arrived," Ye Qiu announced, his voice solemn, without so much as a hint of breathlessness. "As cultivators of immortality, we value following our hearts and being natural. We can be laid - back about matters of food, clothing, shelter, and travel. Although the conditions here are simple, they can temper one's character, enabling one to tread more steadily on the future path of immortality cultivation." As he spoke, Ye Qiu felt a twinge of shame, yet his thick - skinned nature allowed him to maintain a composed demeanor.

Zixia Peak was in a sorry state of poverty, largely due to True Man Xuantian. After all, this old man only needed to feed himself, and the entire Zixia Peak wouldn't starve. "Master, your disciple understands!" Lin Qingzhu replied resolutely.

"Among these wooden huts, except for the middle one, you can choose any as your abode. From this day forward, you are the 19th - generation chief disciple of Zixia Peak and its future heir. As the chief disciple, you must work hard and practice earnestly to set an example for future junior brothers and sisters." Ye Qiu repeated word - for - word what True Man Xuantian had said when he accepted Ye Qiu as a disciple.

Lin Qingzhu was overjoyed upon hearing this. She had never imagined that she would be so fortunate as to be groomed as the heir right after becoming a disciple. She immediately expressed her determination. "Master, rest assured. I will surely work hard."

"Very good!" Ye Qiu let out a long sigh of relief. He feared nothing more than her giving up. After all, when he first came to the mountain and saw the state of Zixia Peak, he too had once considered leaving.

"Alright! Since you've become my disciple, I won't hold back. Take this Marrow - Cleansing Pill. Although this pill is of ordinary quality, it has an outstanding effect. It can purge the impurities from your body and allow you to quickly sense the presence of qi." As he spoke, Ye Qiu slowly took out the Marrow - Cleansing Pill rewarded by the system moments ago and handed it to Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu took the pill from his hand, her shock palpable. "Master, this..." She had just become a disciple, and her master was actually rewarding her with a Marrow - Cleansing Pill. Previously, Liu Qingfeng had informed them that in the path of immortality cultivation, apart from personal aptitude and talent, there was another crucial element—natural treasures and elixirs. Most of these were in the hands of the peak masters of each lineage, but they were extremely stingy and reluctant to squander these hard - won elixirs. That was why they vied for apprentices with higher aptitudes. Lin Qingzhu had never expected her master to be so generous, rewarding her with a top - grade pill right at the start. At this moment, she was so touched that she almost wished to pledge her life to him.

"Thank you, Master! Your disciple will never let you down..." Without hesitation, Lin Qingzhu directly swallowed the Marrow - Cleansing Pill. Instantly, she felt a warmth suffuse her body, and a mysterious force surged into her, expelling the impurities from her body in an instant. Sensing the sticky impurities on the surface of her skin, Lin Qingzhu blushed, feeling too embarrassed to show her face.

"Hehe, go! There's a hot spring in the back mountain where you can clean up," Ye Qiu smiled. Everyone had an affinity for beauty, which was quite understandable. Moreover, Lin Qingzhu was breathtakingly beautiful herself. She had the air of a cold and glamorous goddess, with fair, delicate skin and a height of around 1.75 meters, quite tall. Especially after taking the Marrow - Cleansing Pill and purging the impurities from her body, her entire temperament underwent a profound transformation. If this were in another novel, she would undoubtedly be the female lead, at the level of a holy maiden in a sacred place.

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple will take her leave first." Lin Qingzhu fled the dojo as if in a hurry. After she left, Ye Qiu's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "System!" he called out. "Come out, come out quickly. Where's my reward?" At this moment, he could no longer contain his impatience and urgently needed to verify.

[Ding...]

[The host has given a Marrow - Cleansing Pill to the disciple, meeting the conditions.]

[Activate the ten - thousand - fold reward, with random critical strike. Do you want to start?]

"Activate..."

[Activation successful. Congratulations to the host. Trigger a thousand - fold critical strike and obtain a top - grade elixir, the Divine Marrow Pill...]

"D*mn it!" Ye Qiu leaped up from his chair in shock. The first time he triggered a thousand - fold critical strike, and he obtained a top - grade elixir, the Divine Marrow Pill. This item was a thousand times more effective than the Marrow - Cleansing Pill and could precisely address his issue of ordinary aptitude.

"Hehe..." Ye Qiu murmured. "Not bad, not bad. Truly my good disciple, a lucky star. As soon as she arrives, she triggers a thousand - fold critical strike." Holding the Divine Marrow Pill rewarded by the system in his hand, Ye Qiu was so elated that he could barely contain his joy.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. Before long, Lin Qingzhu returned after cleaning up. Her hair was damp and fell in natural waves. At first glance, she exuded the charm of a lotus emerging from clear water. Ye Qiu was almost spellbound. "D*mn! Is this girl so enchanting?" he thought. Then, he quickly chastised himself, "No, I'm her master. How could I have such improper thoughts? What about ethics and morals..." Shaking his head to dispel those errant thoughts, Ye Qiu quickly regained his composure.

"Master! I'm back..." Lin Qingzhu returned, a hint of shyness in her steps. Ye Qiu nodded. "Well, just now, I thought about it. A Marrow - Cleansing Pill, although it can help you sense the existence of qi in advance, might not be sufficient to outshine your peers. Here, I have another Divine Marrow Pill. Take it. In just a short while, your aptitude will undergo a drastic change."

"Ah..." Lin Qingzhu was stunned upon hearing this. Was her master being overly generous? Moreover, he had such a precious pill but chose to give it to her instead of taking it himself... At this moment, Lin Qingzhu was so moved that she was on the verge of tears. Perhaps her master didn't want her to be looked down upon by her peers and wanted her to grow strong quickly to avenge her parents, so he was willing to part with such treasures.

At this moment, she recalled the encounter in Yuqing Hall earlier. Lin Qingzhu's heart turned cold, and she clenched her fists. "Hmph, you all wait. The humiliation of today, I will surely repay you a hundred - fold on behalf of my master in the future." Secretly vowing in her heart, Lin Qingzhu immediately bowed deeply again. "Master, your great kindness, Qingzhu will 铭记 in her heart for life. Please accept Qingzhu's bow."

"Alright, rise. First, take this..." Ye Qiu didn't care about her thoughts at this moment. He was more concerned about whether he could get another reward later. This was a rather audacious thought. If possible, could he keep obtaining rewards indefinitely?

Lin Qingzhu took the Divine Marrow Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Suddenly, an even more powerful force surged into her body. Since the previous impurities had already been purged, the Divine Marrow Pill now focused on transforming the meridians in her body. In an instant, a divine bone faintly began to form in her body.

"Hiss... Innate Mysterious Ice Bone!" Ye Qiu exclaimed in shock. This was a top - grade divine bone, even higher in grade than the divine bone of that young man in the hall earlier. Was this Divine Marrow Pill really that terrifying?

[Ding...]

[Congratulations to the host. For giving the Divine Marrow Pill to the disciple, a critical - strike reward is triggered. Do you want to activate it?]

"Activate..."

[Activation successful. Trigger a hundred - fold critical strike and obtain an Immortal Marrow Pill.]

[Note: The system has detected that the host is attempting to exploit a loophole by giving away the rewarded item again to trigger the reward. This time, the system will act as if nothing has happened and issue a warning.]

[It is hereby stated that the items rewarded by the system will no longer trigger a critical - strike reward by being given away.]

Upon hearing the warning, Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat. But when he realized it was just a warning, he immediately relaxed. "Hehe, luckily I didn't miscalculate! Although I can't keep getting rewards infinitely, at least I succeeded once. Take a risk, and a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. The top - grade elixir, the Divine Marrow Pill, has directly become an immortal pill, and it's an Immortal Marrow Pill... This is the most top - grade pill!"

"Haha!I'm rich..." Ye Qiu almost let out a wild laugh, but in the presence of his disciple, how could he lose control? He immediately composed himself. "hmmm..." Be calm, be calm... This is just the beginning with a mere immortal medicine.
