Attracted due to how beautiful her face and s.e.xy her body was, and afraid due to the smile on her face and the coiled whip hanging from her waist. 

Dressed in white robes which other than being tight and showing off her body which had seductive curves in all the right places, the cloth between her neck and waist was split to reveal half of each of her breast and only barely hiding those nipples. 

Eyes and hair that were pitch black in colour just like the whip on her waist, it was no wonder why men were afraid of being whipped by her if they approached her. 

But Bai Long however didn't think so and kept on looking as she walked close to him with the smile growing bigger. 

Looking towards Bai Long as if he was a treasure which she just obtained, Hu Lifen said, "You've reached the Qi Sage Realm faster than I expected."

Smiling a little, Bai Long didn't even bother explaining that he had actually entered the Qi Sage Realm two months back because for some reason he felt that she had already figured it out. 

"Now, I'm going to officially ask you, Bai Long, do you want to join the Divine Night Sect?"

"Why me?"

"Not the answer I was expecting. But go on."

"I want to know why you chose me. And why you were working as an elder at the Pheonix Pavilion."

"The second question is the easier one to answer, so I'll start with that."

Pulling two chairs literally out of thin air because she didn't use any spatial treasure, Hu Lifen sat on one herself while offering the other one to Bai Long. 

"Joining the Pheonix Pavilion was a personal decision of mine. I plan on swallowing it from the inside and turn all of the wealth acc.u.mulated inside it into my own."

Nodding his head, Bai Long didn't need to repeat his first question as Hu Lifen chose to speak about it. 

"Before I answer your first question, answer a question of mine. That technique which you use to cultivate, it's something that you created on your own, right?"

Not showing any signs of tensing, Bai Long calmly nodded his head and said, "Yes. But how did you know that?"

Smiling even more brightly, Hu Lifen said, "When you live for as long as I did you end up knowing every single major cultivation technique that exists."

"Even if we consider you came from outside the Mainland, it is impossible for any technique which allows you to enter the Sage Realm to exist."

"And judging from your cultivation, it doesn't look like you've even once changed your cultivation technique."

"This can only mean that you have created a technique of your own."

"Now I don't know how you did this because creating a technique is something which even I can't do easily, but geniuses are born every day so I'm not too shocked by your achievement."

Nodding his head, Bai Long asked, "But what does that have to do with me joining the Divine Night Sect?"

"I'm getting to that."

"Do you know the highest cultivation realm?"

With his lips twitching, Bai Long said, "Everyone on the Mainland knows that. The Qi Immortal Realm."

"Yes, everyone on the Mainland knows about that. But do you know anyone whose cultivation is in the Qi Immortal Realm?"

"Huh? Well, I don't personally know anyone but... "

Shaking her head, Lifen cut Bai Long short and said, "Nope. There are no Qi Immortals anywhere on the Mainland or anywhere in any corner of the world either."

Chuckling a little, Bai Long thought that maybe Lifen was joking but her expression showed that she wasn't.

"You're not joking?"

Shaking her head, Lifen said, "Regretfully, I'm not joking. Since the last 30,000 years, no cultivator has managed to enter the Qi Immortal Realm and there is no Qi Immortal from before that time that is still alive."

Frowning hard, Bai Long said, "Becoming a Qi Immortal means that you cannot die, so what happened to all the cultivators that had become Qi Immortals?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Lifen said, "No one knows. Even though Qi Immortals are unkillable, they can be sealed due to this many of us think that maybe all the Qi Immortals have been sealed. But if they have been sealed... "

"Who is it that sealed them?"

Finis.h.i.+ng Lifen's words, Bai Long found that she had no answer making all of this just baseless a.s.sumptions.

"And what does all of this have to do with me?"

"Along with the disappearance of Qi Immortals, the cultivation technique which show the way on how to break into the Qi Immortal Realm have also completely disappeared without a trace."

"Due to this, for the past 30,000 years, every cultivator that has reached the Qi Quasi Immortal Realm have come together and have been trying their best to come up with  a technique to allow them to break into the Qi Immortal Realm."

"But, even though they have come up with many ideas and successfully completed many techniques, not a single one of them has been able to help those desperate oldies at the end of their lifespan to enter the Qi Immortal Realm."

"And that's where you come in."

"Me?"

"As someone who has managed to create his own technique from the scratch while using it to cultivate, even if you aren't able to perfect the technique which has been created by all the Qi Quasi Immortals since the last 30,000 years, you do possess a higher possibility of breaking through to the Qi Immortal Realm on your own by following the same technique."

Chuckling and shaking his head, "You yourself know how much of a huge stretch what you are talking about it. Not to mention the Qi Immortal Realm, I can't even guarantee that I'd be able to enter the Qi Saint Realm."

"That's fine. I'm willing to bet on you and bear the cost of all the resources needed until you enter the Qi Immortal Realm."

Smiling happily as if it was due to what Lifen had just said, Bai Long however was thinking that his path to rule the entire world had become much easier.

After all, with the True Demon Technique which contained the method to enter the Qi Immortal Realm, as long as Bai Long became a Qi Immortal he would end up becoming the strongest one.

As for the mystery behind the disappearance of the Qi Immortals, he would look into it after becoming the ruler of the entire world.
