Chapter 2381
The waiter rattled off a long list of names.
"Thank you, waiter," Zhu Yanyi said politely. "I will think it over. If I find a good opportunity in the future, I will surely thank you again for the information."
The waiter waved her hand, indicating it was no trouble, and went back to work. Zhu Yanyi turned to look at Baili Tong. "Immortal Baili, see? I could ask others for this kind of news. Why ask you? It wastes my questions."
"Haha, I like this young lady," Wu Er clapped her hands with a smile. "You should be like this. Baili Tong, you always like to keep control in your hands. Now, you’ve lost it."
Baili Tong looked at Wu Er. "Miss Wu, please excuse me. This is really nothing. I was just curious. But since you put it that way, it makes me look bad."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Baili Tong and said calmly, "Thank you, Fairy. Actually, I respect Immortal Baili. As the 'Know-It-All,' asking her simple questions would be disrespectful. The more obscure the question, the better. But I have no questions right now. When I do, I will cherish these three chances."
Zhu Yanyi never underestimated anyone. Even though Baili Tong’s path was based on information and her combat power might not be strong, it was still very important to her. She would always be careful.
Her cultivation was still low, so protecting herself was the most important thing. Therefore, she planned three steps ahead for every step she took.
Baili Tong might not fully understand Zhu Yanyi’s thoughts, but she had also risen from the lower ranks of immortals. Although she was now an Immortal King, there were still Immortal Saints, Emperors, and Venerables above her. She naturally understood the helplessness and confusion of those at the bottom.
Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Wu Er began to take Zhu Yanyi seriously. Wu Er could see that Zhu Yanyi was at the peak of Earth Immortal stage. As a Mid-Stage Heavenly Immortal, she was puzzled. Why didn’t Zhu Yanyi use this connection with Baili Tong to gain real benefits?
Wu Er didn’t understand Zhu Yanyi. On the surface, Zhu Yanyi was a medical cultivator, but in reality, she cultivated her heart. Breakthroughs in mental state represented everything. In the later stages of heart cultivation, breaking through one level made her combat power higher than others of the same level. This was because heart cultivators had extremely solid foundations and would not face heart demon tribulations.
Because she didn’t understand Zhu Yanyi’s situation, Wu Er became curious. Not everyone could resist the benefits offered by an Immortal King.
Wu Er looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Young lady, you could join our Hundred Changes Hall. How about I recommend you?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "I am considered a medical cultivator. I am good at medicine and alchemy. If I join the Hundred Changes Hall, my cultivation might be delayed. Cultivation paths are different, and mixing them can cause problems. I don’t want to put myself in that situation."
Zhu Yanyi’s straightforwardness left Wu Er speechless for a moment.
"Hahahaha!" Du Li laughed loudly from the side. "This fairy speaks well. I say, Qingguo Wu, the Hundred Changes Hall is a good place for demon cultivators who ascend, but not necessarily for human cultivators. I don’t know what you are thinking."
Wu Er understood this too and sighed. "This young lady is right. I thought poorly. Honestly, I am still very curious about you."
Zhu Yanyi blinked and pouted. "I am not a handsome man. Besides, I have a Dao companion. So, don’t be curious about me."
"You are only how old? You already have a Dao companion?" Wu Er was slightly stunned.
Zhu Yanyi calculated. "I am almost fifty-five today."
"Only fifty-five? Faint. You ascended before you were a hundred. How did you cultivate?" Wu Er felt completely bewildered.
As a demon cultivator, she had natural advantages and cultivated faster than ordinary people. Even so, it took her over three thousand years to ascend successfully. The woman in front of her had lived less than a tenth of Wu Er’s age, yet her cultivation was at the peak of Earth Immortal. At this rate, when she reached six thousand years old, who knew what kind of existence she would become?
Zhu Yanyi looked innocent. "Is fifty-five young? In the Mortal Realm, living past seventy is rare. It means very few people live past seventy. So, someone like me, past fifty, is definitely an old person."
"Pah, pah, pah." Wu Er put her hands on her hips. "You are old? Do you know how old I am? Three thousand, one hundred, and seventy-two years old. You are not even a tenth of my age, and you call yourself old? What am I then?"
"You can’t calculate it that way," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Fairy Wu Er, you transformed from a demon to an immortal. Demon cultivators naturally live much longer than mortals. For us mortals, living past a hundred is extremely rare. For you, living past a thousand or ten thousand is common. Compared like this, Fairy Wu Er is still very young."
Hearing this, Wu Er tilted her head and thought. "You know, after you say that, I do feel quite young."
Du Li looked at Zhu Yanyi and asked, "Then, what is your name, Fairy?"
Zhu Yanyi smiled calmly. "My surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Yanyi. You can call me Doctor Zhu, because I am a medical cultivator, and doctor is also a profession."
"Doctor Zhu? That title is very serious," Du Li said, acting casual. "I think I will still call you Fairy Zhu."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Du Li and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. "That is also fine."
Baili Tong observed Zhu Yanyi from the side. "Fairy, what profession did you register after ascending?"
"Since the fairy is a doctor, she naturally registered as a doctor, right?" Du Li said directly.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I didn’t know how to register a profession at the time, so I didn’t register one. I came here this time partly to ask about registering a profession."
Zhu Yanyi was lying. But why lie? She had clearly let Ouyang Mingyue register as a bandit. Of course, there was a reason for this.
