My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game-Chapter 58 – Wait a minute~
Li Qingran stumbled outside the door, and the female cultivators guarding on both sides quickly helped her up.
At this moment, Li Qingran was still somewhat bewildered. She didn't understand why the young master of Spiritual Insight Valley, who had been chatting with her just fine, suddenly pushed her out. Was it just because her master was a man?
"I'm sorry, sister, but you didn't pass our young master's assessment."
A female cultivator beside her smoothed out the creases on Li Qingran's clothes, her face apologetic yet firm as she guided Li Qingran out.
Li Qingran didn't want to lose the opportunity to enter Spiritual Insight Valley.
In her plan, Spiritual Insight Valley was likely the sect most capable of hiding ancient pill recipes. Moreover, it could teach her medical skills, which would allow her to help her senior.
So she stopped in her tracks and bowed to the female cultivator, "May I know the reason?"
The female cultivator pursed her lips, quickly glanced at the distant private room, and led Li Qingran to a corner. After ensuring no one was around, she whispered, "If you were of ordinary talent, I wouldn't tell you this, but you have a single spiritual root, and your future achievements will be significant. I don't want you to hold a grudge against the young master because of this. She wasn't like this before...
I can't go into details, but you should know that Spiritual Insight Valley is currently very averse to disciples forming cultivation companions, and our young master has a deep-seated hatred for men, especially male masters."
A deep-seated hatred for men?
Li Qingran hurriedly said, "But my master is a good person. He's not a bad man, I can vouch for that, and he won't come to Spiritual Insight Valley..."
The female cultivator shook her head, "It's meaningless. Our young master once struggled with this. She tested ten thousand men, and all failed. She already had psychological scars from certain events, and after the tests failed, she completely turned against men. Previously, Spiritual Insight Valley just didn't accept male cultivators, but now no men are allowed within fifty miles of the valley. Exceptionally talented male cultivators can join, but they must be castrated."
Li Qingran was stunned, feeling both speechless and anxious.
"Is there no room for negotiation? Or can I explain it to your young master?"
"No, you should leave quickly," the female cultivator waved her hand, "The Dao Conference is ending soon, and all the major sects will take the flying boats back to their mountain gates. If you wait until next month, you might miss the chance to join a good sect. Spiritual Insight Valley... alas, we are not fated to be with you."
With that, the female cultivator left without giving Li Qingran any chance.
"How could this happen?!" When Chen Huaian left, Li Qingran held back her tears, but now, being inexplicably kicked out when she should have joined Spiritual Insight Valley, she almost cried. Besides Spiritual Insight Valley, which sect specializes in training healing and pill cultivators, and which sect has so many ancient pill recipes?
How could she resolve her master's poison?
Li Qingran stood blankly at the entrance of the tavern, looking back at the direction of the private room, feeling useless.
Her master had given her so many opportunities, but when it was her turn to help him, she couldn't even accomplish the simplest first step.
"Hey! Isn't this the sister with the single water spiritual root?"
A voice, neither masculine nor feminine, suddenly sounded, filled with surprise and greed.
"Sister, you didn't join Spiritual Insight Valley?"
Li Qingran followed the voice and saw a group of people approaching.
Leading them was a scholarly-looking man with a pale face.
His appearance was more delicate than a woman's, his face as white as paper, with rouge on his cheeks. He wore a short, thin sword and four porcelain bottles at his waist, and the fragrance on him could be smelled from half a street away. His every move gave off an affected air.
The scholarly man looked Li Qingran up and down, understanding her situation, and laughed, "Sister, you must have been kicked out by that crazy woman, hahaha! I, Wei, never expected that even a genius with a single spiritual root would be kicked out!"
He laughed so hard his face turned gray as if he couldn't catch his breath, then bent over to take a deep breath, smiling as he said, "Perfect, perfect, sister, join our Yin-Yang Sect! Our sect's power is no less than Spiritual Insight Valley's, though our reputation is a bit worse... But as cultivators, aren't we all seeking the Dao? As long as we don't practice demonic cultivation, what's wrong with being a little indulgent?"
Li Qingran's face turned slightly cold.
She had heard of the Yin-Yang Sect.
This sect, along with the Hehuan Sect and the Bliss Zen, was known as one of the three major licentious sects.
However, they were indeed righteous sects.
Compared to the dual cultivation methods of demonic cultivators, the dual cultivation methods of these three sects focused on mutual benefit, without the concept of exploitation. However, their conduct was indulgent, and their private lives chaotic, earning them the disdain of other righteous sects.
She already had a master and could never join such a dissolute sect.
Even without a master, the Dao pursued by such sects was not in line with hers.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior," Li Qingran politely bowed and declined, "The Yin-Yang Sect is great, but I still wish to find a sect more suited to my water spiritual root."
"Our Yin-Yang Sect also has water-based mental techniques, both Yellow and Mystic Ranks, for you to choose from."
"I already have a master, and I must follow my master's orders. Please, senior, don't make things difficult for me," Li Qingran bowed again.
"Hmph! Difficult?" The scholarly man's face turned cold, and he sneered, "I see you're not giving face to our Yin-Yang Sect! A master, huh? Why don't you let your master come out and see? Today, you must come with us!"
Li Qingran bit her lip. She couldn't summon her master.
She didn't want to disturb her master, who was fighting a great demon.
That demon was extremely dangerous and required full concentration. How could she distract him?
However, although she didn't have her master, she had talismans left by him.
She originally wanted to keep them as a collection...
Li Qingran reached into her storage bag, grabbing a handful of Thunderfire Talismans.
She hesitated, not activating them immediately.
The scholarly man in front of her was probably a Golden Elixir cultivator, and these Thunderfire Talismans were enough to blast him to pieces.
But then she would surely be hunted by the Yin-Yang Sect.
What would she do then?
Would she have to trouble her master to clean up her mess?
Li Qingran, you're such an idiot, ruining a good hand!
She silently cursed her stupidity, her gaze locked on the scholarly man approaching step by step, a cold glint flashing deep in her eyes.
"Hold on."
A light shout echoed in the air.
Then, a heavy sword, half a meter wide and as tall as a roof, crashed between Li Qingran and the group from the Yin-Yang Sect with a 'boom.'
A gust of wind followed.
The heavy sword wobbled, and a leg dangled down, a gourd knocking against the hilt, splashing wine.
It was a woman dressed in black, with black pants and a black veil covering her face.

She crossed her legs, her shoe's tip had a hole, revealing half a toe.
The black veil fluttered in the wind, releasing a stench of alcohol and garlic, followed by a lazy voice.
"This little girl, we've taken a liking to her, hiccup—!"
"You all, hiccup, now...
Scram—!"
