Chapter 99: Too Much Pressure That You Have Dementia

The two tiny demons focused their powers into their tail lights. The pressure on their bodies was lighter and their tail lights were brighter.
Phew—
They both sighed in relief. They would have blown up from that sudden wave of power if they did not find the solution.
They glanced at the porridge juice shakily. They were petrified.
What an expert. Even the porridge was precious and valuable. They only took a tiny sip of porridge juice and were overwhelmed. The Nine-Tailed Fox and the expert were eating bowls of porridge. How luxurious of them!
Such a special lantern, such a magical porridge.
No wonder the Nine-Tailed Fox was so powerful. She met an expert.
When she promised them a breakthrough, they did not expect it to be this kind of breakthrough!
It was hard to be unsuccessful when you were with the expert!
Li Nianfan noticed how bright the lantern was and he smiled. “It looks like they love the porridge juice. Look how happy they got.”
Daji nodded and said, “Yeah, not everyone gets to taste your porridge, Mr. Li.”
“Haha, when it comes to food, I really am the best,” laughed Li Nianfan. Then, he felt bad for the fireflies. “But they shouldn’t always be bright. It doesn’t waste electricity but they must be tired. They shouldn’t be bright during the daytime, only when they need to.”
The fireflies dimmed as soon as he finished his sentence.
Li Nianfan was amazed. “Even the fireflies are intelligent in the Immortal Realm.”
…
At the Northside of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.
It was dryland and there were not a lot of trees around. The sun was high up in the sky, making the weather incredibly hot.
An old woman and a young girl were on their way.
The old woman said to the young girl, “Nanan, we’re almost there. I know it must be tiring to follow along.”
She could not figure out why someone like Nanan was sent to her unknown sect that was in the middle of nowhere.
Was the expert planning something?
She was not a powerful cultivator, but she had lived for hundreds of years. She had seen and heard enough to know that experts worked in mysterious ways. Very few people could understand it.
It was great that the expert saw something in the Golden Lotus Sect.
No matter what, she had to treat Nanan well. She must protect Nanan at all cost!
A one-day-trip was prolonged into a three-day-trip because she became rich overnight. Her space ring contained endless treasures so she was scared of being robbed.
Also, she had Nanan on her side. She had to ensure her safety.
Therefore, she was extra careful on the road. She would avoid road trails if she had any doubts.
They finally reached the turf of the Golden Lotus Sect.
“It’s okay, master.” Nanan shook her head and said, “You only told me half the story of the Golden Lotus Sect. What happens next? Did the Sky Knife Sect borrow us the elixir?”
The old woman shook her head and replied, “Of course not. Not only that, but they also mocked and humiliated us. The Golden Lotus Sect was almost vanquished.”
Nanan was unfazed. She asked, “Oh, what happens next?”
The old woman smiled and finished reciting the story.
She realized her new student was interested and passionate about the history of the Golden Lotus Sect. She was also interested in news and information regarding the cultivation realm. The old woman would not hide it from her. She told Nanan everything she wanted to know.
The two reached the Golden Lotus Sect without noticing.
They were a sect, but they were truly poor. The gates were made of clay and it was crappy.
Beyond the gates, there were a few buildings around. The main hall was decent but it was also old. The walls were dried up and there were only a few disciples around. It was a miserable sight.
The old woman brought Nanan to where she stayed. It was not far away from the main hall. It was the best spot from the looks of it.
“Nanan, this is your room from now on. I’ll live next to you, so you can come to me if you have any problems. Don’t worry about anything,” said the old woman kindly. Then, she said, “You should stay here first. I’ll go look for my sister.”
She left in a flash, heading toward the small yard next to the main hall.
She rushed through the small yard and arrived at a room. She pushed the door open. “Sister, I’m back!”
An old woman laid on her bed weakly with her eyes closed.
This was her sister, Wu Hanyan.
She had white messy hair and wrinkles all over her face. She looked like an old woman on the brink of death, hanging on to her last breath.
She was only older than her by three years, but she looked like she was older than her by decades!
There was a dark spot between her eyebrows—a sign of fatal poisoning.
Wu Hanyan did her best to open her eyes.
She said in a weak and hoarse voice, “You finally came back. How was your trip?”
The old woman was emotional. “Sister, I found an incredible student!”
“Really?”
Wu Hanyan did not expect good news so she was very glad to hear that. She hurriedly asked, “Is it a Decent Spiritual Root?”
The old woman shook her head. “No.”
Wu Hanyan trembled and asked, “So… So it’s a Superior Spiritual Root?”
The old woman still shook her head. “Not that either. She’s an Inferior Spiritual Root.”
Wu Hanyan was visibly disappointed. She smiled bitterly and said, “You, I’m at the brink of death, yet, you still want to tease me.”
The old woman quickly replied, “Sis, I’m not making fun of you. This student is unlike any of the other Spiritual Roots. She’s the Golden Lotus Sect’s breakthrough! This time… We’ll be successful!”
“Do you know what you’re talking about?” Wu Hanyan turned to look at her sister. She suddenly realized that her sister was no longer the twenty-eight-year-old woman she once knew. She had already gone through the cruel passage of time. They were two old ladies now.
She felt sentimental at that moment, a miserable kind of sentiment. She sighed. “You went through a lot over these years. You’re under too much pressure, so much that you have dementia and now you’re imagining things. Fine, fine. After I die, go ahead and break up the Golden Lotus Sect…”
